Visting the church

Useful information for visiting preachers can be found on the Services and Activities page.

The church is situated on Castle Street, which rises from the north side of Cambridge city centre up Castle Hill to the County Council municipal buildings (Shire Hall) and the adjacent Castle Mound. The church is about halfway up the hill.
