Things to do in Cambridge, England: The Best Churches & Cathedrals

January 31, 2022 Phylicia Berquist

Cambridge might be best known for its university, home to some of the world’s greatest minds (Milton, Darwin, Hawking, etc.). But there’s a vibrant theater and arts scene here as well, and you’ll find fantastic contemporary restaurants mixed in with traditional pubs. Climb the tower of Great St. Mary’s Church for sweeping views of the city.

All Saints' Church

All Saints’ stands opposite the gates of Jesus College in the heart of Cambridge, its pale stone spire a prominent city landmark. It was built in the 1860s to the plans of the famous 19th-century architect G.F. Bodley, and is a triumph of Victorian art and design. The interior is richly decorated - almost every surface painted, stencilled or gilded; flowers run riot over the walls. Light gleams through stained-glass windows designed by leading Arts and Crafts artists, including William Morris and Ford Madox Brown. The building is maintained by The Churches Conservation Trust and is open daily for visitors.

St Giles'  Church

A sumptuous Victorian church, in the Catholic tradition of the Church of England. Come and explore this beautiful space, or rest a while in the churchyard. Completed in 1875, parts date back to 1092. It is Grade II* listed 'by virtue of its collection of medieval and C18 survivals, together with C19 fittings by many of England's leading church decorators.' As well as regular services we host regular concerts, bake sales, and Cambridge's original Christmas Tree Festival. We are pleased to welcome visitors from all over the world. On weekday mornings the building may be accessed via the Parish office (through the gate on the North side of the church).
