Westcott House, an Anglican theological college, is nearest to the photographer, whilst beyond it is the Grade 1-listed All Saints' Church. The college, which began in 1881 as the Cambridge Clergy Training School, has often been associated with a liberal catholic ethos. Although not formally a part of the university system, it currently provides training pathways in conjunction with the University of Cambridge and the University of Durham. Beyond the college is the redundant Grade 1-listed All Saints' Church whose ownership and management were granted to The Churches Conservation Trust in 1981. The church was built between 1863-70 in English Gothic Revival style and the tower and spire, that are modelled on St Oswald's Church, Ashbourne, Derbyshire, were added between 1869-71. The church’s overall height is said to be 175 feet (53 m), making it the city’s third tallest building. Both of these buildings face Jesus College.
