Cambridge 2000: Trumpington Street: St Botolph's Church
| Description: Trumpington Street: St Botolph's Church |
| Date built: 1300s |
A fairly standard church but very noticeable turning from
Silver Street around onto Trumpington Street, especially
its clock which is unusual in that it works. There are also
two sundials on the tower (just to the right of the clock in
the photo).
The main part of the church was built in the mid-14th century
and the tower and south chapel were added in the 15th century.
The interior is most notable for the chancel, which was
rebuilt by Bodley in 1872, for a Kempe stained glass
window of 1889, and for the 15th century rood screen.
St Botolph is the East Anglian patron saint of travellers,
the church was so named because it was next to Trumpington
Gate, which at that time was the southern city boundary.
