Heritage

The Cambridge Christian Heritage was founded in 1992 and benefits from the cooperation of a number of Cambridge churches and colleges.

They cater especially for groups from schools, conferences and churches by arrangement, as well as for tourists and other visitors to Cambridge.

They have a variety of regular walks.

They have a number of interesting publications and a display of The Oldest Illustrated Bible. This is Cambridge's most valuable treasure and dates from the 6th century. Written in Latin it contains beautiful illustrations of the four gospels of Jesus Christ. The book was given to Augustine in Rome when Pope Gregory commissioned him with thirty other Benedcitine monks to preach the Christian gospel to the Anglo-Saxon people of England. Augustine landed in 597AD near Canterbury. He was well received and was consecrated the first Archbishop of Canterbury.

When in 1534 Henry VIII started to destroy the monasteries the books were brought to Cambridge for safekeeping and now only leave Corpus Christi College whenever a new Archbishop is enthroned.

The gospels are the same as used today thus providing evidence that there has been no change in the record of the story of Jesus since it was first written by Luke and the other Evangelists.
