Cambridge Centre for Christianity Worldwide

[1] The trust was initially created for the purpose of constructing the Henry Martyn Memorial Hall, which was built in 1886-7 on Market Street next to Holy Trinity Church.

During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries several hundred graduates from the University of Cambridge served in overseas mission as educators, physicians, linguists, and clergymen.

In 1992, the mission theologian Graham Kings, who later became Bishop of Sherborne, was appointed as the inaugural lecturer in missiology in the Federation.

The holdings of the CCCW are registered with the National Archives of the United Kingdom[8] and comprise materials related to the history of missions in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

The collection includes the papers of John Edward Church (1899-1989), a graduate of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and a leader in the East African Revival.
