Inscription above the west door of the tower, built in 1623. The lettering puzzled me but, according to the
Victoria County History, reads BVRGVS GVMECESTRE, i.e. Borough of Godmanchester (the 1943 edition of
Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles says that "Godmanchester" should be pronounced "Gumsester".)
