The church dates from the 12th century, but was largely demolished in 1863 and rebuilt in 1864. It originally consisted of the nave and chancel, and a south aisle was added followed by a small private Chapel on the north side. The north transept is 15th C. and the roof of the north transept and nave are also 15th century. There is also a fine choir screen from the same period. The north transept was built around 1400, and originally had stained-glass windows with ancient coats of arms including those of the donors the Bataille family. This area was later used by Lords of Battles Manor as their private Chapel. The Chapel contains a Memorial to Sir William Waad of Battles Hall, who was a notable diplomat and officer of state. He was Lieutenant of the Tower of London for eight years where some of his prisoners included Guy Fawkes and Sir Walter Raleigh. The chancel was rebuilt in 1746 by Henry Woodyer. The tower was demolished in 1863 as it was unsafe. The present tower contains six bells.

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Utmerket

"Fantastic hotel in Cambridge city centre. I have rarely been so positively impressed. My room was a studio with a fully equipped kitchen, including fridge with freezer shelf, microwave, coffee maker ++. The have not been cheap on anything, which most hotels are. The ground floor lounge is amazing, with modern interior, super nice chairs and sofas, and an outdoor area. I had some problems with a crazy automatic door, other people in my room when I arrived, and water/shower noe working, but the personnel was so helpful. It turned out they opened just 2 weeks ago, and these were startup problems."
