MenuChurch of Our Lady of the Assumption and St Gregory, Middlesex
The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption and St Gregory is a Roman Catholic church on Warwick Street in Westminster, Middlesex. It is considered to be the oldest Catholic church in England (excluding those Anglian churches returned to Catholic use). It originated as a chapel within the Portuguese embassy in the 1730s. Responsibility for the chapel passed to the Bavarian embassy in 1747. In 1788, a replacement church was designed by Joseph Bonomi the Elder, being dedicated to St Gregory the Great in 1790. The interior retains some of its Georgian decoration, though the church was restored and altered in the Victorian period. In 2013 the church was entrusted to the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham. The church is within the council area of Westminster.
