Church in England
The Catholic Church of St Edmund of Canterbury is a Roman Catholic church in Nelson Road, Whitton , Richmond-upon-Thames , London . It is part of the Upper Thames Deanery of the Diocese of Westminster . It is dedicated to Edmund Rich (also known as Saint Edmund or Eadmund of Canterbury, and as Saint Edmund of Abingdon) (1175–1240), who was a 13th-century Archbishop of Canterbury .[ 5]
The congregation was established by the Edmundite Fathers , who acquired land in 1934 and converted existing structures on the property into a chapel for worship. A permanent church was built in 1937 but destroyed by German bombing on 29 October 1940, during the Blitz . The current church was completed in 1963 and consecrated in 1972.[ 1]
In 1988, the Edmundites withdrew to the United States, and the parish has since been staffed by diocesan clergy.
The current church building, constructed between 1961 and 1963,[ 3] to replace the original building dating from 1935,[ 1] was designed by F. X. Velarde and completed for the F. X. Velarde Partnership by Richard O'Mahony.[ 2] [ 3]
The aumbry for oils is by David John, but the font by the same designer is no longer there.[ 2] [ 3]
Mass is held every morning and also on Saturday and Sunday evenings.[ 6]
The church publishes a weekly newsletter, St Edmund's Chronicle .[ 7]
