Church of St Mary the GreatThe Great St Mary's Church, as it is locally known, is central
to Cambridge and its university life. It is the official university
church, and according to university rules, all Cambridge
undergraduates must live within a 3-mile (5km) radius of the
church, while university officers are required to live within 20
miles (32km). St Mary's was completed in 1205, before being
destroyed by fire and rebuilt again in 1290. Cambridge University
sermons are conducted here, and day visitors are invited to climb
the tower and appreciate the lovely views it affords of the town's
historic market square.
