SUMMARY:Church Tours - 10th May 2026
DESCRIPTION:CHCT Church Tour May 2026CHCT Church Tour May 2026 \nGreat Shelford – Directly next to the church there is space for about 8 car parking spaces – they can open up a field next to the churchyard for further parking. \nBabraham – The parking for Babraham is down a lane. The gate to the lane is open so that people can park outside the church. The most important thing\, is not to follow Google maps as it will take you to the entrance of the Babraham Science Campus. So\, Rev’d. Kathryn said that from Great Shelford if people come through Sawston and along the Babraham Rd\, they should then turn left at the cross roads\, go past the school and then just before the bridge turn left (there is a sign post to the church). Looking for the sign for the church being the key point. When they see the sign\, they should turn and then they should then follow the lane down to the church. \nWhittlesford – There is very limited parking on the street directly outside the church. There is some limited parking on the road further along Church Street. There will probably be parking in the nearby school playground. There are some car parks on Woollard’s Lane for those able to walk a little further.
