St Peter's Church, Prickwillow, is an inactive Anglican church in the village of Prickwillow, Cambridgeshire, England.
Built in 1866 - 8 of brick on a foundation of wooden piles by R R Rowe.[1] The church has a nave, central bell turret, transepts, and south porch.[2] The elaborately carved font of Italian marble, perhaps from Carrara, was given to Ely Cathedral by Dean Spencer in 1693.[1] The font cover is hung from the ceiling by the figure of an angel.[2] After the church was declared redundant in 2011, the font was returned to the cathedral. [1] The 1691 bell was also given by Ely Cathedral.[3] The baptism register starts in 1874 and the marriages in 1864. There is no graveyard as nearby Ely is used.[2]
