Cambridge Catholic church, funded by ballerina, is relisted
A Catholic church in Cambridge has been relisted at Grade I by Historic England.
The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption and The English Martyrs was founded and funded in the 19th Century by a ballerina who had been bought by her future husband.
The church's Nigel Kerry says her story was "a sign of the times", as former Barnstaple MP Stephens Lyne Stephens paid a large amount to a Parisienne dance company to bring Yolande Lyne Stephens to England.
