Find a church

There have been three separate histories weaved within 'Catholic Basildon' that bring us to 2012.

Holy Ghost church was built in the early English style by Canon Alexander Scholes, who is buried in the church grounds and his memorial headstone is on the north side of the church.

The building was originally known as the London Street Mission House and the first foundation stone was laid in 1800.

The church, dedicated to the Celtic Saint Bega, is situated in a picture perfect setting in fields on the east shore of Bassenthwaite Lake.

The King of All England, King Edgar was crowned on this site in 973 and the service set the precedent for the coronation of all future Kings and Queens of England including Elizabeth II.

A hidden gem in Bath.

The architect Charles Hansom, designer of fifty Catholic churches in the country and brother of Joseph Aloysius Hansom, the designer of the Hansom cab, regarded St John’s as his best and most rewarding work.

Peace, quiet and contemplation under one historic roof.

For over a thousand years, a church has served the community we now know as Bathwick.

The abbey was built on the site of the pivotal Battle of Hastings, and contains the traditional location of King Harold's death.

A memorial church to a bloody battle.

Unlike the quiet side street you will tread to visit the church today, way back in the 12th century the wharf was just below the church was a busy inland port, with sailors and merchants busily going about their business.
