All Saints' Church Melbourn
The Parish Church of All Saints is a Grade II listed building and comprises:
• central nave with parallel aisles
• south transept lady chapel
• south porch with Parvis room over,
• 15th Century tower to the West end.
• rood screen dating back to 1508
• font probably of 12th Century origin
• chancel with some medieval pews
All Saints’ Church is deeply embedded in the fabric of the village, dating back more than a thousand years. It remains not only an enduring reminder of collective history, but also holds great significance for many individuals and community groups today.
Holy Trinity Church Meldreth
The initial layout of the existing church, consisting of a long chancel, aisleless nave and west tower belongs to the second half of the 12th century, the most impressive surviving part being the entrance arch to the tower.
The tower was completed in the 13th Century and the next major project was the insertion in the north wall of the nave of three fine 14th Century traceried windows, closely modelled on contemporary work at Ely cathedral.
In the 1370s a large traceried window was inserted into the east wall of the chancel, regrettably destroyed in 1871. In the latter part of the 15th Century, the church was transformed by the addition of a spacious south aisle and the addition of a nave clerestory with a fine king-post roof.
A substantial chancel screen with Rood was also built about this time, only part of which survives in later restored form.
Our church mission is to ignite a passion to follow Jesus.
“The church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit to continue the task of reaching the lost and discipling the saved, helping them become fully devoted followers of Christ“.
Ephesians 4:1-16
