Cambridge: Early Reformation Tour
In the 1520s, Cambridge became the cradle of the English Reformation, with scholars gathering at the White Horse Inn to discuss Martin Luther’s prohibited writings. While prominent reformers preached throughout the city, the 12th-century Round Church (Church of the Holy Sepulchre) stood as a central, historic landmark navigating the massive religious upheaval. Following the Reformation, the Round Church, along with others, was transformed from a medieval Catholic site into a place of Protestant worship, later undergoing significant restoration in the 19th century
Christian Heritage London and Beyond facilitates guided walks through the streets of London, Cambridge, and Oxford to remind us about our Christian heritage and our leaders. By remembering our past and God's faithfulness, we are reminded that God is still moving and is still faithful to us today. We are also reminded about how we should be bold and our primary purpose in life is to glorify God and bring souls into the Kingdom. We are homesick for Heaven but still have an Earthly mission.
The Round Church
One of Cambridge's oldest and most iconic buildings, the Round Church was founded in c.1120 and has witnessed 900 years of history. Following bomb damage in World War II and the congregation outgrowing the space in 1994, the Grade I listed building is now managed by Christian Heritage as a visitor center and exhibition space.
