Parish of the Ascension, Cambridge
We are a family of Community-serving Churches who work closely together and who call ourselves ‘Church at Castle’. There are three Anglican churches making up the Parish of the Ascension; St. Augustine of Canterbury in Richmond Road, St. Giles’ with St. Peter’s in Castle St and an ecumenical partnership between the United Reformed Church and Anglican Church at St Luke’s, Victoria Road. We have a close relationship with Castle Street Methodist Church and St Giles’ Church building is shared with the Romanian Orthodox parish of St John the Evangelist. All are based around Castle Hill and serve the residents of Castle Ward – and beyond (north of the river, as far as Gilbert Road, West Road, Histon Road and Madingley Road, beyond the M11). The parish also includes the new housing developments of Eddington and Darwin Green.
