点评:St Mary the Great is a Church of England parish and university church at the north end of King's Parade in central Cambridge, England. It is known locally as Great St Mary's or simply GSM to distinguish it from "Little St Mary's". It is one of the Greater Churches. It is designated by Historic England as a Grade I listed building.
In addition to being a parish church in the Diocese of Ely, it is the university church for the University of Cambridge. As such it has a role in the university's legislation. For example, university officers must live within 20 miles of Great St Mary's and undergraduates within three. The church also hosts the "University Sermons" and houses the University Organ and the University Clock. The latter chimes the "Cambridge Quarters" which were later used by the clock tower of the Houses of Parliament ("Big Ben").
翻译:圣玛丽大教堂是一座英国国教教区教堂和大学教堂,位于英国剑桥市中心国王大道北端。当地人称之为“大圣玛丽教堂”,或简称“GSM”,以区别于“小圣玛丽教堂”。它是“大教堂”之一。它被英国历史遗产委员会指定为一级保护建筑。
它不仅是伊利教区的一座教区教堂,也是剑桥大学的大学教堂。因此,它在大学立法中发挥着重要作用。例如,大学官员必须居住在距离圣玛丽大教堂20英里以内,本科生则必须居住在3英里以内。教堂还举办“大学布道会”,并收藏大学管风琴和大学钟。后者负责敲响“剑桥区”(Cambridge Quarters),后来被用作英国国会大厦的钟楼(“大本钟”)。
