The Chapel of Saint Mary Magdalene at Sturbridge, Cambridge is a detailed architectural and historical study of one of the most significant medieval structures in the region. Written by Chester H. Jones, this work explores the structural evolution and historical significance of the chapel, often referred to as the Leper Chapel. The text delves into the building's Romanesque features, its association with the Stourbridge Fair-once one of the largest trade fairs in Europe-and its role in the religious and social life of medieval Cambridge.

Through careful observation and historical analysis, the author documents the chapel's survival from its 12th-century origins through centuries of varying use and neglect. The work highlights the architectural integrity of its chancel and nave, offering readers a window into the ecclesiastical design of the Norman period. This study is an essential resource for those interested in English medieval architecture, local Cambridge history, and the preservation of historic religious sites.
