St Etheldreda’s Church is quite unique. Visitors are inspired to walk in the footsteps of the martyrs who died for their allegiance to the See of Rome and to worship in England’s only pre-Reformation parish church restored to Catholicism, with its rich tradition of liturgical music.
Not all visitors realise, however, that this ancient and beautiful church is not supported financially in any way by either central or local government. Without donations from a worldwide family of supporters, the maintenance and running costs of the church simply cannot be met.
