Interior of S. Sepulchre Church, Cambridge.details

Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Cambridge.

Built by a Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchre, to whom the Abbot and Convent of Ramsey gave for that purpose, between 1114 and 1130, a burial-ground which they possessed at Cambridge. This Brotherhood was probably a band of pilgrims who had gone to the Holy Land together; for the church which they built is clearly imitated from that which covers the traditional site of our Lord’s Sepulchre at Jerusalem.
