| 词条 | St Anne's Roman Catholic Church, Laxton Place |
| 释义 |
HistoryThere had been a school chapel in Little Albany Street since 1857,[2] replaced in 1938 by a new church in Seaton Place.[2] The redevelopment of the area in the 1960s included provision for a new church on the corner of Laxton Place and Longford Street.[2] Cardinal Heenan laid the foundation stone on 30 May 1970 and the church opened later that year.[2] The UK's small Chaldean community started worshipping in the church in 1991 under Right Rev Andreas Abouna.[3] Worship continued until at least 2003, but the church had closed by 2011. ArchitectureThe church was designed by Scott and Jaques.[2] It has curving walls of dark brick, broken up by 17 tall windows.[2] Trusses of prestressed concrete support a copper roof.[2] The altar is stone, but the rest of the furnishings are wooden.[2] FutureIn 2011, the Roman Catholic Church proposed that St Anne's be used as the principal church of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham for former Anglicans. Damian Thompson, the religious affairs commentator for The Daily Telegraph and a prominent supporter of the ordinariate, has rejected this proposal and has described St Anne's as a "cross between a public lavatory and a Christian Science Reading Room".[1] Thompson preferred that St Etheldreda's Church in Ely Place, the only medieval Roman Catholic church in London, to be used by the ordinariate.[1] See also
