Giving to Grantchester Church
We are so grateful for all the financial support that we get that enables us to keep active and open for all. Support ranges from small one-off donations, purchase of cards and publications, regular giving, large donations and legacies – and every bit makes a difference. If you would like to give to the church please contact our treasurer.
Church Building
The oldest part of the church – the chancel – dates from the 14th century, the nave and tower are 15th century, whilst the south aisle was added in the 1870s. The font is believed to be Norman, and the 17th century pulpit probably came from the chapel of Corpus Christi College.

Grantchester Church ReVaMP Project: January – March 2025
After several years of consultation, planning and seeking the correct permissions we are delighted to announce that we have all the necessary green lights for the Grantchester Church ReVaMP Project to get started. It will involve…
Restoring our beautiful church
Vestry refurbishment
Maintenance work
(and saving the best till last..)
Path regraded for step free, level access into the church.
The building work will commence at the start of January. The last service will be on 29th December after which the church will be closed until the beginning of April, opening in time for Easter.
Churchyards 2, 3 and 4 will still be accessible via the path behind the vicarage and we are hopeful that a safe path can be created from the second churchyard to the Garden of Remembrance.
Alternative arrangement for worship has been made as follows:
1st Sunday : 9.30am Communion, St Mark’s, Newnham.
2nd Sunday : 11:15am Communion, Grantchester Reading Room.
3rd Sunday : 9.30am Communion, St Mark’s, Newnham.
