Abstract:
Paul Edwards of the Anglia Team asked the Historical Analysis and Recording Team for an assessment of the restoration and refurnishing of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre (the Round Church), Cambridge. This work was carried out between September 1841 and October 1843 to the designs of the architect Anthony Salvin who was himself working under the close supervision of the influential Cambridge Camden Society. In particular Mr. Edwards wished to know whether the present open benches in the chancel aisles and in the chancel could be firmly attributed to Salvin, or whether they were added in 1845 when the then incumbent, the Rev. Faulkner, is known to have changed some features of Salvin 's scheme, primarily replacing a controversial stone altar table butting against the east wall with a freestanding wooden holy table. This request for research was triggered by recent discussions concerning the refurnishing of the Church, in which it was assessed that the oak benches were in fact not the work of Salvin instructed by the Camden Society but of a lesser-known designer instructed by Faulkner, and that, therefore, they were far less historically significant than has traditionally been assumed. The principal aim of this research has been to establish which pans of the fabric can be firmly attributed to Salvin and which to Faulkner, and at the same time to outline the importance of the Camden Society in the history of nineteenth-century British architecture.
