Until the mid-19th century, Higham village was part of the parish of Gazeley - indeed, several of the memorials inside Gazeley church are to members of the Heigham family. However, by the time of the 1851 census of religious worship there were more people living in Higham than in the main village. This was partly because of the proximity of Higham to the main Cambridge to Bury road. But it was also because of industrialisation, and the Church of England perceived the danger - where you get industrialisation you get non-conformism. So, in 1861 a separate parish was created, And Scott was commissioned to do the church. Today, a copy of Scott's plan hangs inside.
