I used to pass through Somersham twice a day to/fro RAF Wattisham when I was based on 29 Squadron from 1967-69, but I first visited the Church of St Mary on 10th April 1999, these are the notes I made at the time together with notes from the church leaflet
The Domesday Survey of 1086 records an incomplete church
The present church is Grade I listed
The Tower is 14c and contains two bells the oldest is 1626
