Barnack - St John the Baptist

The limestone quarries in Barnack were already used by the Romans and many of the stones used to build Ely Cathedral in Anglo-Saxon and Norman times came from here.
St John the Baptist's Church is noted in particular for its Anglo-Saxon tower to which was added a spire of circa 1200, possibly one of the earliest spires in England.

In the north aisle is a large Romanesque sculpture of a seated Christ in Majesty that was discovered under the floor in 1931.
