Ecclesiastical and Architectural Topography
John Parker (1851)
Huntingdonshire
Somersham
Chancel nave with clerestory, aisles, porches, a tower at the west end. The chancel is very good Early English with a fine triplet at the East End and four lancets on each side one of which has given place to a poor three light perpendicular window. The triplet is plain externally but the interior has shafts supporting good arch mouldings: the East wall has some good buttresses set square at the angles; there is a fine doorway in the South Wall the shafts of which have rich capitals of foliage: there are good sedilia and a double piscina. The inner doorway of the South Porch is very excellent Early English, the porch good perpendicular. The South aisle has a good double piscine with detached shafts moulded caps and a trefoil head. The tower is early decorated with buttresses set square on the angles and two light windows in the upper stage, most of the tracery gone: the whole aisle and clerestory windows are good two and three light perpendicular. The piers and arches to the nave have moulded capitals finished with a small battlement. The roof of the nave is of wood on stone corbels. The font has a plain round bowl.
