Cambridge Camden Society

The Cambridge Camden Society was a group of people who really liked fancy buildings and churches. They started in a city called Cambridge and then went to a place called Camden, which is in London, and that is why they have both names in their group name.

They believed that buildings should look pretty and have a purpose, like making people feel happy or teaching them about God. They liked decorating buildings with things like stained glass windows, pretty tiles, and carvings.

The society was started in 1839, so they are really old, and they have changed a lot over the years. They used to just talk about buildings, but now they also talk about how to make cities better places to live in.

In short, the Cambridge Camden Society is a group of people who love beautiful buildings and want to make cities a better place for everyone.
