Background
History
Simon Langham when Bishop of Ely (1362–1366) was a major benefactor of Peterhouse, Cambridge and gave the rectory of Cherry Hinton to the college. The church was restored and rebuilt by George Gilbert Scott Jr. in 1880. The chancel was restored in 1886 by John Thomas Micklethwaite. A daughter church, St John the Evangelist's, was founded in 1891 to serve the developing residential area between Hills Road and Cherry Hinton Road.
Architecture
The ashlar-faced chancel with its pairs of lancet windows (c.1230-50.) is a fine example of Early English Gothic architecture. The east window was replaced in the early Tudor period by a five-light version in the perpendicular style. The ashlar-faced tower is also in the perpendicular style though there are remnants of Norman origin in the arches. Within the tower the second bell dates from the 14th century and is the oldest in the city. In the tower is the coffin-shaped tablet of Captain Serocold (d.1794) by John Flaxman.
