Cambridgeshire Churches

Guest

This website is devoted to the Churches of Cambridgeshire. Here you will find notes (by Ben, mostly) and photographs (by Mark, mostly) of the churches that they have visited.

They will be covering those parish churches that lie within the historic boundaries of Cambridgeshire and the Isle of Ely. That means leaving out Huntingdonshire and the Soke of Peterborough, but we will be including a few odd bits of Cambridgeshire that have wandered across the borders into other counties (as Landwade did into Suffolk in 1994).

This is an ongoing project, so you need to call back from time to time to see new churches added as they visit them - or revisit churches to take new photographs or revise their opinions.

Cambridgeshire Historic Church Trust

Guest

Cambridgeshire has more than 300 churches and chapels of historic and architectural interest. They span over a thousand years from the Saxon period at Great Paxton to the High Victorian revival at Waresley and All Saints, Jesus Lane, Cambridge.

In almost every village and town it is the church and the churchyard that form a visual focus and the longest visual thread. The churchyard may contain the only substantial trees, areas of ancient grassland and rare habitats, and the church building is the bastion of the local distinctiveness of building styles and materials. The limestone spires of old Huntingdonshire strike an obvious contrast with the chalk and cobble towers of East Cambridgeshire.

The care of the church sites falls squarely on the local community and especially its church members. They carry the burden of continuous maintenance and the raising of massive funds for repair.

That's where they can offer some assistance:

In 1953, the Historic Churches Preservation Trust was founded and became the leading body dedicated to preserving the nation's churches. Seeing the great need locally, the Cambridgeshire Historic Churches Trust was founded in June 1983, by the original trustees who were Lady Pamela Wynn Wedgewood, the Venerable Richard Sledge, Robert Walker and the Reverend Robert Van De Weyer.

The Trust's main aim is to provide financial assistance to the parishes of Cambridgeshire, when they undertake repair projects affecting the fabric, fixtures, furniture and ornaments of their historic churches and chapels.

To this end the Trust has a policy of making grants and interest free loans from its funds to allow repair work to be undertaken without delay and to provide a cash-flow for larger scale projects.

The Trust's main fund raising event is the Annual Sponsored Cycle Ride, which takes place in September. The continuing success of this event is crucial to the amount of funds available to be distributed to the Historic Churches of Cambridgeshire.

For newcomers to genealogy it can be difficult to find out what information is available to them and where to look for it.
