Hilgay water tower Complete with the usual collection of mobile phone masts. I predict in future generations the water tower function will disappear and everybody will think these structures were built for the mobile phone network - depressing.

Please Close Gate I rode past this overgrown gate twice before I finally spotted it. I wish I never had, as the bridleway behind it eventually disappears by the sugar factory.

Hilgay All Saints church The church was almost totally rebuilt of brick in 1794. The tower is no higher than the apex of the nave roof. Entry is gained by the north porch above which is a plaque to G W Manby, churchwarden here in 1794, his son was the inventor of the Manby Mortar, which has saved many lives from shipwrecks. He is buried on the south side of the church. Inside, there is an 18th c. font and a disquieting coloured stone pulpit. What I found most interesting was the beautifully preserved glass-sided hearse, and the sketch of the church before the restoration showing the south aisle as the only original part of the old church that remains. It surprisingly still has its old 15th c. roof. The 18th c. piscina and sedilia are somehow unnatural and sit awkwardly in the sanctuary. The church is, however well loved and looked after.
