Church of St Giles, Gothic Revival church in Cambridge, England

The Church of St Giles stands at the junction of Castle Street and Chesterton Road, featuring ornamental details and vertical architectural elements.

Built on foundations from 1092 through an endowment by Hugolina de Gernon, the current structure was completed and consecrated by the Bishop of Ely in 1875.

The church maintains both Anglican and Romanian Orthodox congregations while hosting concerts throughout the year in its Victorian Gothic environment.

Visitors can explore the church daily to examine its architectural features, including the 12th-century chancel arch and medieval doorway elements.

The structure incorporates parts of the original 12th-century building, including a reset chancel arch and doorway within its 19th-century reconstruction.
