Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Fulham, London, was designed by a Catholic Priest, Fr Benedict Williamson.
It is a masterpiece of light and space. Its soaring classical columns and Romanesque arches give it a height and grandeur that make it look deceptively large. The Egyptian details reflect the fascination of the time with all things Egyptian after the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb. The Stations of the Cross are magnificent. Each is a meditation in its own right.
In 1914 a local lady lost her son in action in the First World War. She bought the local rubbish tip and on it in 1922 built the church of Our Lady in his memory. She presented a silver cup to the first baby baptised here and a suite of furniture to the first couple married. Since that time it has been the parish church for this part of Fulham.
The postal address is Parish House, 2 Tynemouth Street, London, Fulham, SW6 2QT
