Note: William Butterfield, the Gothic Revival architect, was involved with the Cambridge Camden Society, later The Ecclesiological Society from 1842. He contributed designs to the Society's journal, The Ecclesiologist. His involvement influenced his architectural style. The Cambridge Camden Society, later the Ecclesiological Society was founded in 1839 by undergraduate students at Cambridge University to promote "the study of Gothic Architecture, and of Ecclesiastical Antiques." Butterfield was a regular contributor to its monthly journal, 'The Ecclesiologist', which advised church builders on their blueprints, advocating a return to a medieval style of church architecture in England.
