TL4558 : All Saints Church, Jesus Lane, Cambridge
taken 7 months ago, near to Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England

Due to falling visitor numbers it can no longer be kept open on a regular basis, but its threatened demolition was averted by a group of volunteers and the church is (2026) in regular use as a performing arts and exhibition venue.
Listed Grade I, the church was the first major work of the eminent exponent of Victorian Gothic, James Bodley, and remains one of the least altered of churches in the Catholic Revival idiom, with work by William Morris, Burne Jones and Ford Madox Brown.
All Saints is a church on Jesus Lane, which was built by the architect G F Bodley. The church was constructed between 1863 and 1870 and, as a notable example of the Gothic Revival style and the Arts and Crafts Movement, is a Grade I listed building ( Link
). It is no longer a parish church, but has been under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust since 1981.

Listed buildings and structures are officially designated as being of special architectural, historical or cultural significance. There are over half a million listed structures in the United Kingdom, covered by around 375,000 listings.
Listed status is more commonly associated with buildings or groups of buildings, however it can cover many other structures, including bridges, headstones, steps, ponds, monuments, walls, phone boxes, wrecks, parks, and heritage sites, and in more recent times a road crossing (Abbey Road) and graffiti art (Banksy 'Spy-booth') have been included.
In England and Wales there are three main listing designations;
Grade I (2.5%) - exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important.
Grade II* (5.5%) - particularly important buildings of more than special interest.
Grade II (92%) - nationally important and of special interest.
There are also locally listed structures (at the discretion of local authorities) using A, B and C designations.
In Scotland three classifications are also used but the criteria are different. There are around 47,500 Listed buildings.
Category A (8%)- generally equivalent to Grade I and II* in England and Wales
Category B (51%)- this appears generally to cover the ground of Grade II, recognising national importance.
Category C (41%)- buildings of local importance, probably with some overlap with English Grade II.
In Northern Ireland the criteria are similar to Scotland, but the classifications are:
Grade A (2.3%)
Grade B+ (4.7%)
Grade B (93%)
