Dist:0.3km<br/>The bridge shows clearly why the use of pre-fabricated concrete panels for abutments was abandoned. In the centre, panels on this bridge have suffered weathering at the joints between them, opening up cracks with the risk of debris falling onto the M1 below.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Newly built road which by-passes Ridgmont. I'm not sure what designation it has been given, but it effectively replaces what was the A507, maybe it has now taken on that number.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Although I've called this the North Porch, the church is not well aligned to the usual East/West axis, being at least 15º out. Quite noticeable amidst the gloom of this avenue was the bright pinprick of light emanating from the keyhole of the doors which can just be seen in this image.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This Victorian church with a fine spire was built to replace the old church of [[[326144]]]. This new church was built and consecrated in 1854-5 from designs by Sir George Gilbert Scott. (see [[[1266]]] for his most famous building).

Dist:0.5km<br/>The footpath seen here leads from the ancient settlement of Segenhoe near to [[[326144]]] through fields to Ridgmont, where the much newer [[[147375]]] (&[[[326623]]]) points its steeple to Heaven. Note also the water tower a little way to the south of the church at SP97633593

Dist:0.6km<br/>Taken from the lane from Ridgmont to Eversholt (unsurprisingly called Eversholt Road). The subject grid reference I've given is for the Water Tower at SP97633592. The spire belongs to [[[326623]]] which is in the adjacent gridsquare at SP97593605

Dist:0.7km<br/>The bridge now carries purely local traffic following the construction of the Ridgmont bypass to link up with junction 13 a short distance north.

Dist:0.8km<br/>This excavator was busy churning up the land on the northern side of the M1 near Ridgmont. The works were to create a loop of the A507 to the north of the M1 avoiding the necessity to go through the village of Ridgmont - effectively creating a Ridgmont bypass.
