The church of St Clement on Bridge Street. Very rarely open except for services, this mostly 13th century church (apart from an ugly 18th century tower) is shared between High Anglican and Greek Orthodox worshippers. I've always wanted to go in and they were open for tea and cakes today so I went in for a look round. They have lots of beautiful gold-painted panels - I'll post some more pics - but the combination of poor light and barking Monty (he hates being left out) means I haven't done it justice. Hopefully you can get some of the atmosphere though - it was very beautiful (though in one history I read it's described as 'drab' - I think they were missing something) and quite unusual for an English church - neither C of E nor Catholic in style. St Clement is an unusual dedication for an English church and probably derives from an even earlier time when Cambridge was occupied by Danes.
Your photo makes me want to experience it in person. I love the feeling of old churches. So much history. So many people have passed through over time and lived their lives there.
DRAB !! Who could call this beautiful church drab ? The wall behind the altar just glows !! What a great opportunity to have a look round too , I love looking round different churches!
The pot that you asked about from the chive photo is
about 6 inches or 15 cm across....the pov makes it appear so much smaller. :-)
