Church of St Anselm and St Cecilia, Roman Catholic parish church in Holborn, England.
Church of St Anselm and St Cecilia sits at 70 Lincoln's Inn Fields and displays early 20th-century design with a south aisle extension added in 1953. The interior contains spaces for worship services and parish activities.
Designed by Frederick Walters in 1909, the church replaced the former Sardinian Embassy Chapel which was lost during Kingsway construction. This change occurred as London reshaped the Holborn area in the early 20th century.
The parish serves as a working Catholic community where worshippers gather daily and observe special devotional periods throughout the year. The building functions as a living center for spiritual practice rather than merely a historical monument.
Visitors can attend regular services throughout the week with several options on weekends and weekdays. The building offers modern accessibility features and live streaming of services for remote participation.
The building marries its Grade II listed status with modern accessibility features and digital services. This demonstrates how a historic landmark has adapted to meet contemporary needs for participation and connection.
