Welcome to our guided “virtual tour” of Christ Church Cambridge, viewed through the lens of our historical involvement in slavery and abolition.

The tour takes about 20 minutes. Each section is narrated by a Christ Church parishioner or clergy member.

The work of examining Christ Church's full history is ongoing.  As more information about our church's connections to slavery is determined, this page will be updated accordingly.

• Please click/tap the play button (triangle) below to start the first narration. You can click/tap anywhere on this bar to replay sections of audio.

Each of the following sections contains a high resolution, 360-degree ‘spin’ photo that you can control.

• On a computer, you can ‘look around’ by positioning your mouse pointer over an image, holding down the left mouse button, and dragging in any direction.   

• You can zoom in and out by rolling the middle mouse button (if you have one) or by clicking the ‘+’ or ‘-’ buttons on the bottom right of the image.

• On a mobile or touch-screen device, you can simply use one or two fingers to manipulate your view.

• For each of the sections that follow, we suggest that you start the narration, then click the box in the upper-right corner of the interactive image to expand it to full-screen. When the narration concludes, click the box again to return to the tour.
