  • Cambridge Jesus Lane LM
    Friends Meeting House, Jesus Lane, Cambridge 11–12 Jesus Lane, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB5 8BA National Grid Reference: TL 44964 58799 Statement of Significance The building has overall medium heritage significance as a much altered and extended example of an eighteenth-century purpose-built meeting house, associated with the long history of Quakers on this city centre site. It contributes positively to the conservation area. Evidential value The older buildings on the site are considered to have medium evidential value, while the overall site has high evidential value, due to its below-ground archaeological potential. Historical value The history of the Quaker presence on the site dates back to at least 1700. The current meeting house was the first purpose-built meeting room on the site. The buildings are associated with various prominent Quakers, including the benefactors Ann Docwra and Caroline Stephen. The complex has high historical value, due to its illustrative and associative values. Aesthetic value The eighteenth-century meeting house and the 1960s block both have low aesthetic value as relatively plain buildings with few features. No.11 Jesus Lane has medium aesthetic value. Communal value The complex has high communal value as a Quaker meeting house which is also used by local community groups. Its association with Quakers and its long history is highlighted by a plaque which contributes to the buildings’ key part in the memory and identity of users, visitors and local residents.

ISBN: 0801031583 (pbk). The Radical Orthodoxy movement is one of the most significant schools in contemporary theology. Associated with the work of John Milbank, Graham Ward and Catherine Pickstock, the name comes from their 1998 edited vol- ume, Radical Orthodoxy: A New Theology (London: Routledge). The move- ment (or ‘sensibility’, as John Milbank has called it) is criticised by some for placing too much emphasis on the Church, and by others (perhaps par- ticularly by Roman Catholics) for being a ‘theology in search of an ecclesiol- ogy’. The books under discussion here, by Milbank and Ward, develop the ecclesiological perspective and offer a response to both of these criticisms. The Church is indeed central to their thought. Here is a theology all about the Church, which places Radical Orthodoxy within the wider ‘ecclesial turn’ in Anglo-Saxon academic theology of the last few decades. It is, however, a more creative ecclesiology than the liberal critics have allowed, and surprisingly grounded in the practical challenges and deliberations of the churches, not least the Church of England.

A knowledge of the conditions of his task should make the historian of Jesus take a modest view of its importance ; for, though the tree sprung from Alcock"s acorn has now grown to some size and not a little vigour, for the best part of its existence it was overshadowed by taller neighbours in the academic grove. In fact, except in some short periods of unwonted prosperity, Jesus was, until recent ' 1 times, emphatically a small college, low in revenues, and in numbers competing with Peterhouse and Magda- lene rather than with Caius or Christ's.

HE Jesus Lane Sunday School owes its name to the fact T that for the first six or seven years of its existence it was held in a small building known as the Friends' Meeting House, situate in Jesus Lane, on the left-hand side as you approach Jesus College from Sidney Street. To what use this building was put from the year 1833, when the Jesus Lane Sunday School was moved into rooms in King Street, placed at the disposal of the Committee by the Governors of the Old Schools of Cambridge, until 1862, we know not; but in the latter year, this first home of the Gownsmen's Sunday School became the Sunday Schoolroom of the parish of the Holy Sepulehre, the Church of which was in those days largely attended by undergraduates, who valued the ministry first of the Rev. F. J. Jameson, so early called to his rest, and then of the Rev. T. T. Perowne, now Archdeacon of Norwich. When the Jesus Lane Sunday School was first moved into King Street in the year 1833, it was only allowed to make use of the lower schoolroom; subsequently, through the influence of the Rev.
