The Church of St Peter is a redundant Church of England (Anglican) church in Cambridge, in the Parish of the Ascension of the Diocese of Ely, located on Castle Street between Honey Hill and Kettle's Yard. Former county archaeologist Alison Taylor speculates that due to its location, across the Roman road from St Giles' Church, it may have its origins in the Anglo-Saxon period but confirms that no evidence of the church prior to the Norman period has currently been discovered. St Peter's is now a single-cell church with a west tower and an octagonal 14th-century spire with dormers. Construction is of stone rubble with pebble for the tower and ashlar for the spire. The church was rebuilt on a reduced scale in 1781, although there are several surviving medieval details. It has a 13th-century south doorway, and a 12th-century font, decorated with mermen at the angles.〔(Corpus of Romanesque Sculpture in Britain and Ireland )〕 The church is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.〔(CCT webpage )〕 Cambridge108.JPG|12th century baptismal font Cambridge107.JPG|Stained glass Cambridge110.JPG|Saint Peter's keys Cambridge109.JPG|Memorial stone to Jim Ede, the founder of Kettle's Yard, who helped to preserve the church ==See Also== *St Giles' Church, Cambridge *Ascension Parish Burial Ground 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St Peter's Church, Cambridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
