Gorefield

Gorefield is a village and civil parish in the Fenland district of Cambridgeshire, England.

[citation needed] The Church of St Paul was built in 1870 at a cost of £2,000 with the formation of the ecclesiastical parish of Gorefield from Leverington under the Leverington Rectory Act.

[3][4] In 2004, Gorefield won the Fenland District Award in the Cambridgeshire Village of the Year contest.

[citation needed] The corner-stone of the new church was laid on 28 April 1870 by Edward Bowyer Sparke, Esq., son of the late rector of Leverington.

The church was built of flint with freestone dressings, the whole cost of the building having been provided for by the late Canon Sparke.
