Overview

The site of Little St Mary's Church was originally the home of St Peter's Church, which exists on in the name of the neighboring college, Peterhouse. The whitewashed walls, long windows and painted roof beams give the church a bright and airy feel. On the north wall is a monument to the former vicar of the parish, Godfrey Washington, who was the great uncle of the first US president, George Washington. The family coat-of-arms, a black eagle atop a shield of red stars and stripes, adorns the tablet.
