Our Most Holy Redeemer

Our Most Holy Redeemer is a church building in Italianate style standing at the junction of Exmouth Market and Rosebery Avenue in Clerkenwell. The structure includes an attached clergy house and a tall tower, creating a distinctive outline on the corner.

Construction began in 1888 following architect J.D. Sedding's design and was completed between 1892 and 1895 by Henry Wilson. The project emerged during a period when English architects were increasingly adopting Italian design elements.

The interior draws inspiration from Florence's Santo Spirito with carved details by sculptor F.W. Pomeroy throughout the space. This Italian influence creates a distinctly different atmosphere from what visitors typically encounter in other English churches.

Services are held every day except Monday, with main gatherings on Sundays at 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM for community worship. Visitors are advised to check specific timings before visiting, as these may vary seasonally or for special occasions.

The building holds Grade II* listing status, which indicates its high architectural importance in England's heritage system. This protection level places it above most other churches in the city.
