Leighton Bromswold
This is a charming and compact little village in the hilly country between Huntingdon and the border with Northamptonshire. Two features are of interest here - the moated gatehouse and the church.
The gatehouse dates from the 15th Century and is the only part ever built of a great mansion designed by John Thorpe for the Duke of Lennox.
The church is certainly one of the finest in the county, of striking early English design but after falling into near ruin was rebuilt in 1634 when the tower was added. The splendid furnishings of this period include the pulpit and reader's desk. The very attractive village pub is The Green Man.
