Dist:0.6km<br/>Just inside the porch is a notice pointing out that Groton is the proud possessor of the oldest headstone in the county bearing the name Kedbye and dates from 1598. Most of the church dates from around the end of the 15th c., but the roof of the nave is 200 years later. This was probably when the clerestory was added. Parts of the church, especially the lower part of the tower, are 13th c. The octagonal font is rather uninspiring and plain, but was attractively planted as an indoor garden when I visited. The interior is painted pink which I found strange, although quite pleasing. John Winthrop sailed to America in 1629 and became first Governor of Massachusetts and founder of Boston. He was born here in 1588 and died in 1649. The glass in the windows serves as a memorial to many other members of the Winthrop family.
