Church of St Mary and St Michael, Roman Catholic church in Commercial Road, East London, England
The Church of St Mary and St Michael features Gothic Revival architecture with diagonal buttresses, an embattled parapet, and a prominent west tower with stair turret.
Constructed between 1852 and 1856, this Grade II listed building held the distinction of being the largest Roman Catholic church in London at that time.
The church remains a central gathering point for the Roman Catholic community in East London, hosting regular religious services and community events throughout the year.
Located at 2 Lukin Street near Commercial Road, the church conducts masses in multiple languages to serve the diverse local population of Tower Hamlets.
Father James Webb, who became the first Parish Priest of this church, marked history as the final priest in England prosecuted under the Penal Laws.
