Ealing Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Castlebar Hill, London, England

The English Gothic church building features stone walls, pointed arches, and large stained glass windows designed by Frederick Arthur Walters in 1897.

The monastery started as a parish from Downside Abbey in 1897, received priory status in 1916, and Pope Pius XII elevated it to abbey status in 1955.

The Abbey Choir, comprising men and boys, performs traditional Benedictine chants during Sunday Conventual Mass and participates in BBC broadcasts.

Visitors can attend daily prayers, masses, and evening vespers with the monks, while the monastery offers accommodation for spiritual retreats throughout the year.

Two bombs struck the abbey during World War II, damaging the organ chamber and choir area, leading to extensive restoration work beginning in 1957.
