Interior of the Church of St Peter & St Paul, Wisbech
Coat of Arms - The parish church is one of only two in the United Kingdom with a double nave covered by a single roof. The reconstructed form of the church has existed since 1400, but for the tower and the damage caused by the earlier one when it collapsed into the building during a storm in the 1400s. The tower is of around 1530. It stands almost apart from the church, but is connected to it. During this period a chapel was built alongside the chancel and the southern porch was constructed. Evidence of an earlier Norman church can be seen as foundations at the western end of the main nave.
