St Edward King and Martyr, Cambridge

St Edward King and Martyr is a church located on Peas Hill in central Cambridge, England. It is dedicated to Edward the Martyr, who was King of England from 975 until his murder in 978. In 1525 it was at St Edward's that what is said to have been perhaps the first "openly evangelical" sermon of the

English Reformation was delivered, and the church is sometimes labelled the "Cradle of the Reformation". It has been considered a royal peculiar, not belonging to a diocese, but this is disputed.
