St Mary Magdalene Church is a church of medieval origin in Gedney, Lincolnshire. Renowened for its large size in the surrounding low-lying landscape, it is commonly known as the Cathedral of the Fens. It is a Grade I listed building.[1]
In 2006, 29 windows in the church were smashed, including a 14th-century Jesse window; vestments and an altar cloth were also set alight, but luckily the fire did not take hold. A 15-year-old and a 16-year-old were interviewed by police and admitted causing the damage.
