Church of St. Benedict

The Church of St. Benedict is located in the center of the English city of Cambridge, and is notable for its Anglo-Saxon-style tower. The word "Bene't's" is an acronym for Benedict, hence the two unusual apostrophes in the title. The church is the oldest surviving building in Cambridge.

The Anglo-Saxon Tower of St. Benedict Church was built in the early 11th century, sometime between 1000-1050. The arcade nave and roof are in the style of the Gothic period in English architecture, which is characterized by an emphasis on straight lines, making it also known as the "Perpendicular Period". The church and much of the rest of the building were rebuilt during the Victorian era. Historians still argue about the original purpose of the tower. It is likely that it was built as a bell tower, but the earliest mention of the tower’s bells dates back to the 13th century.

Currently, the Church of St. Benedict is open to attend services and ceremonies for all comers. For the convenience of visitors, adult and children's groups are formed. For people with disabilities, there is a rental of seats on wheels. Twice a year there are lunches and dinners among the regular participants, during which they communicate on religious and historical topics.
