F. Bodley A.R.A., F.S.A. is a memorial to Everina Frances, widow of Sir Gilbert Affleck bart. and wife of the Rev. Dr. Whewell, master of Trinity College; she died 1 April, 1865: the old church, which stood opposite St. John's College, has been removed: there are 400 sittings, of which 150 are unappropriated. The old graveyard near the site of the former church has been inclosed and re-arranged, and contains a memorial cross designed by Mr. Basil Champneys, the architect of the adjacent Divinity Schools, and erected in 1880 in memory of various distinguished persons and benefactors of the parish, whose names are inscribed on tablets round the base. The register dates from the year 1538. The living is a vicarage, net yearly value £83, including 28 acres of glebe, in the gift of the Master and Fellows of Jesus College, and held since 1892 by the Rev. Charles Lawford Acland M.A. of that college." [Kelly's Directory - 1900]
