Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Geoff GImpington, UK1,325 contributionsA wonderful experience to find out what church bellringing is and to have ago yourself. Sessions are bookable online or you can walkin weekday afternoons from 14:00hrs to 15:00. A teacher explains the background and how to ring a bell. You then have the chance to try a bell yourself . There are more advanced bellringing activities as well.Written 12 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TUFCDunblane, Scotland176 contributionsWe had finished visiting Jesus collage and saw notice boards outside this church saying it was arts and craft .
From the outside its a small pretty urban church with a nondescript brown wooden door but inside ......wow
It's a riot of colour with decorated walls with red , green gold and beautiful stained glass designed by some of the greats from the arts and crafts movement. My favourite was the ceiling with either a design on the roundels where the wood met or phrases in gold along the beams
There was a very helpful chap we chatted to about the church
We found this by pure chance and it was only open as a meeting was going to be held there later that morning
If you are nearby and you find the boards out do visit . It's beautiful and quiet which makes a lovely change from the madding crowds outside
It's free to visit but donations can be leftWritten 5 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A very interesting church to visit set in a lovely village with beautiful houses.Written 25 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marc SPasadena, CA68 contributionsThis is a wonderful little church, still functioning and serving the local population, but also very kind and welcoming to visitors and tourists.
There is a small brochure which gives the complete history and there was an art exhibit on the day I attended which was apolitical but very thoughtful.
It's delightful.Written 6 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The building is Victorian, despite the college itself being a medieval foundation. I believe G F Bodley was the architect and, unsurprisingly, it was Victoriana at its best. I was particularly struck by the stunning painted ceiling. Whether the late Sir John Betjeman, one of my heroes, ever visited or not I don't know, but I think he would have been impressed.
During term time a traditional Prayer Book Evensong is sung every day at 6.30, and at 10.30 on a Sunday morning there is a Sung Eucharist according to the Church of England's modern Common Worship Order One rite.
Choral service, held during term time, are open to the public, and I would encourage anyone who loves good music and reverent ceremonial to attend.Written 30 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Service was friendly and efficient, the welcome warm, and lunch was accompanied by a fantastic piano recital taking place in the nave. A good place to know in CambridgeWritten 31 March 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- ShaunH290London, UK2,992 contributionsSt Andrew’s church is not owned by the National Trust, but is a parish church and part of the Diocese of Ely (as both its website and a notice inside make clear). It is therefore free to enter at reasonable times, whereas the surrounding Wimpole Hall is only free to NT members. It is an amazing building that was largely demolished in 1748 and rebuilt in 1749, but the medieval north chapel remains from the original structure.
This part of the building contains some impressive memorials to the Chicheley family, the builders of Wimpole Hall. I do not understand how the building acts as a parish church but the monuments are largely in this north chapel and are well worth a visit. We skipped Wimpole Hall itself, which was being prepared for the Christmas season, as we stopped off on a longer trip and are glad that we did!Written 5 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
