About this audio guide
This guide to St Bene't's Church in Cambridge starts with a simple question about how old the building in front of you really is. It follows the Saxon masons who raised the tower, the Victorian Gothic enthusiasts of the Camden Society, and the architects Raphael Brandon and Arthur Blomfield who were invited to improve the place. Best heard standing in Bene't Street with a clear view of the tower's corners.
