West Wickham: a stinkpipe half hidden in a tree The coronet cap of a green-painted cast-iron sewer vent pokes out of the top of the small tree on the left and its ribbed base can just about be made out in the shadows below. The photo was taken on the bend in High Street next to the church gate. A bright day in winter would be a better time to take a picture than this cloudy one in full-leafed June was.

West Wickham: St Mary The parish church is screened from the road by fine lime trees. Much of the fabric dates from the 14th century. Restoration work was going on inside on this cloudy summer morning and some renewal of the chancel was already complete. "Chancel: c 1320. Three restored windows of clunch, of two cinquefoil lights with reticulated tracery in two-centred arches. East window of similar period, restored" (from the grade Grade II* listing). The chancel walls lean outwards, restrained by substantial diagonal buttresses.

Stinkpipe and gable end at Burton End Burton End is the eastern part of West Wickham, and this house is at the eastern edge of the village. A slender cast-iron sewer vent pipe pokes above the hedgerow trees on the left. It is the same rather delicate type found in some other Cambridgeshire villages - and at the other end of West Wickham (see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7214313">TL6149 : West Wickham: a stinkpipe half hidden in a tree</a>).
