Why it's Wildland
3.9Built on Cheyne Row in the 1890s, this Chelsea parish church is dedicated to the Holy Redeemer and St Thomas More. Its story connects the area’s Catholic community with the name of Thomas More, whose former Chelsea home and parish church are part of a wider local history.
A compact heritage stop rather than a wild landscape: the church earns its place for its Chelsea setting, Catholic history and the chance to explore its architecture through the parish’s online tour. Check arrangements before visiting, as this is an active place of worship.
