Castle Camps (village)

The present parish church, dedicated to All Saints since the 15th century, comprises a chancel, nave with south porch, and west tower.John Ernest Bode was rector of the parish in the mid-19th century, and is known for writing the hymn "O Jesus I have Promised".[5] The highest point of the current administrative county of Cambridgeshire, 479 feet (146 m) above sea level, is in the village of Great Chishill about 13 miles (21 km) to the west of Castle Camps.However, as Great Chishill was historically a part of Essex (having been moved in boundary changes in 1895), the historic county top of Cambridgeshire is close to Castle Camps, where a point on the disused RAF airfield reaches a height of 128 metres (420 ft) above sea level (grid reference TL 63282 41881).[6] The village has one public house, The Oak (formerly The Cock but renamed in April 2019), situated on the High Street.
