History

For over 800 years the congregation met at the Round Church, Cambridge, but in 1994, to accommodate growing numbers, the congregation moved half a mile south to the current building which had been declared redundant since 1984. The Round Church is still used occasionally, and is leased to Christian Heritage for exhibition and training courses.

The church is within the Conservative Evangelical tradition of the Church of England, and it has passed resolutions to reject the ordination of women.

Architecture

St Andrew's is a Victorian building - the medieval church was known as St Andrew without Barnwell Gate and was demolished in 1842, then rebuilt to a plan by Ambrose Poynter. The style is 15th century East Anglian.
