English Martyrs Church, Tower Hill, Catholic church building in Tower Hill, London, United Kingdom
English Martyrs Church is a Catholic building on Prescot Street designed in neo-perpendicular Gothic style with elaborate stone detailing. The structure combines vertical lines and ornate carvings typical of this architectural approach.
The Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate built this place between 1873 and 1876, invited by Cardinal Nicholas Wiseman to serve local Catholics. It became a center for the Catholic community in this part of London.
The church maintains regular Mass services while supporting various parish groups that strengthen connections among Catholic faithful from different backgrounds and nationalities.
The church sits on Prescot Street in Tower Hill and welcomes visitors during worship services throughout the week. It is best to check current service times in advance, as schedules may vary depending on religious observances.
The presbytery was rebuilt in 1881 using funds from the Carthusians to honor their brothers executed at Tower Hill in 1535. This connection to the medieval past of the location adds a layer of remembrance to the building.
