History of St Andrew's Church

Wednesday 11 July 2007 at 12:03 pm

The history of Soham as a religious site dates back as far as AD 650 when St Felix, the "Apostle to the East Angles", founded a monastery here. This was destroyed late in the ninth century by the Danes who burnt the buildings, killed the monks and looted the monastery's treasure.

Soham's importance was restored circa AD 900 when Luttingus, a Saxon nobleman built a cathedral and palace here (predating the cathedral at Ely). The remains of St Felix are said to have rested in Soham until AD 1030 when they were removed in a daring night time raid by boat and taken to Ramsey Abbey (with the blessing of King Cnut). It is recorded that King Cnut stayed in Soham when he visited Ely.
