OUR LADY OF THE ASSUMPTION AND THE ENGLISH MARTYRS

(4.9 Score)
Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 1JR, UK Directions

Since 1890

Speciality:

✓ Holy Communion ✓ Committees ✓ Mass ✓ Catechism ✓ Preparatory Prayer ✓ Sunday Classes ✓ Divine Prayer ✓ Baptism ✓ Bible Teaching ✓ Meetings ✓ Memberships ✓ Festivals ✓ Wedding ✓ Confession ✓ Live-Streamed Services

“Our Lady of The Assumption and The English Martyrs provides a space of rest, beauty, and grandeur for everyone who enters. The church was built in the Gothic Revival style in 1890 to replace a smaller building designed by Pugin dedicated to St Andrew. The church is the centre of the largest Mass attendance in the Diocese of East Anglia and provides for Masses, other liturgies, Sacramental instruction, and other activities. Architecturally, it has a polygonal apse, a central lantern tower, and a bell tower with a spire, housing a ring of eight bells along with a tolling bell for the Angelus. The organ in the church was designed by the great organist Charles Villiers Stanford. Our Lady of The Assumption and The English Martyrs serves to accompany the choir(s) on other occasions.

2025 Update: The church is 65 metres high and is a Grade I listed building.”

GREAT ST MARY’S REVIEWS

A must visit if you are in Cambridge. You can take some beautiful Photos of the city from above and see some Points of Interest, You do need to be fairly Fit as the spiral stairs to the top are quite steep and incredibly narrow. You do go past the Bells of the Church on the way up wich are very interesting to see too. Althought the tower doesn't seem that high from ground level - it certaibnly feels high once you are at the top and getting to the top seems a long way too. Also a wonderful 360 views of Cambridge from the tower. Climb the 123 steps up a narrow, winding staircase to enjoy panoramic views of such iconic buildings as Kings College and Chapel. We were very fortunate too to happen upon a recital in the church which made our short trip there more memorable.

The church is situated right in the heart of Cambridge next to the Cambridge Market Square and King's College Chapel. The entrance is free you only need to pay a small fee to go up to the tower. Can be bought on arrival. The tower offers a 360° view over entire Cambrige, but be preparer for narrow spiral stair, 123 steps. The views are very nice. You might need to wait fw minutes before entering the tower to go up and down. Not photograph is allowed inside. You can join the worshiping at any time or jut listen to the wonderfull chorus songs. Upon visiting the tower you get a leaflet with information about the church. Recomend a visit for church lovers and architectural lovers.

The 360 view….worth it. Had to take congested, high gradient stairs. Not suitable for senior citizens or ppl with claustrophobia. But I enjoy the breathtaking view of Cambridge.

OUR LADY OF THE ASSUMPTION AND THE ENGLISH MARTYRS REVIEWS

This is probably the most beautiful buildings in the area and being a catholic church, I was very happy that it was open during the day. You can freely enter the building, take pictures, admire the view or pray, without any issues. It is very interesting how, despite that it’s on a very busy junction, when you enter the building it’s like you enter a different realm, everything changes – the sound, the light And what I particularly like about churches, the air! You can probably get a good idea of the look of the place from the pictures and videos online but that has nothing to do with being there. I highly recommend. Unfortunately, there is no car park around the park for free, but if you are planning a visit to Cambridge, I believe it’s worth it to park at the nearest paid car park which is Queen Anne Terrace car Park.

A very serene and peaceful place of worship this church has indeed the ambience of a peaceful place. It’s been very well looked after and has very clean interior. The information displays are clearly shown and one would like to spend more time in this holy place once inside. The exterior could do with a good clean up to remove all the black soot due to weathering over the decades. For this the campaign has started to collect donations but it’s a long way away from the target.

Near the centre of busy Cambridge this Catholic Church offers peace and serenity within an ornate and contemplative environment. The exterior is home to some truly extraordinary gargoyles.

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH REVIEWS

Its a Contemporary style of church. Instead of hyyms they use proper songs with a band made of violins, drums, singers, keyboard and guitars. They have camera which is linked across 8 or so TV screens so you can clearly see the service anywhere in the church and these TV screen show the lyrics to the songs. The pastor and staff are lovely and very helpful I will say though they often connect 3 or more song together with no pause. Church is one of the oldest on Cambridge (with one of the first pastors being in the 1500s).

One of the best places to truly worship God together. One of the best place to worship Christ with all our hearts. Church encourages and focuses on students and professionals who are new to faith or who are exploring christianity.

Lovely warm and welcoming church. Great for all ages and backgrounds. Such a lovely mix of people from all over the world.
