Background
History
This Italianate church was built in 1888 to the designs of J. D. Sedding, and completed, after his death, by his assistant Henry Wilson, 1892–95. The church, which was built in the grounds of the former Spa Fields Chapel, originally comprised just the building on the left in the illustration, the campanile tower and clergy house on the right being added in 1906. The inscription on the cornice of the original structure reads Christo Liberatori translated as 'To Christ The Redeemer'. The interior of the church, including the baldacchino, was modelled upon Brunelleschi's Santo Spirito, Florence. Sculptural carving to the interior is by F. W. Pomeroy.
Visiting
The Church of Our Most Holy Redeemer is within the Traditional Catholic tradition of the Church of England and receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Fulham (currently Jonathan Baker).
