My friend had her wedding here at St Etheldreda's Church, the oldest Catholic church in London. Only a small church, it was the perfect setting for friends and family who travelled from all four corners of the globe. In the midst of old London, it is tucked away in a blink and you miss it sideroad, quiet and intimate.

The stained glass is very impressive. The interior is much larger inside than one would expect from the outside but still not a large church.

Britain's oldest Catholic Church, built in the 1300's. The Crypt is so tranquil, one can only imagine all the history it has seen. Take the time to study all the stories told on the windows. Do some reading on St. Etheldreda's life and the history associated with the martyrs of Tyburn to understand a lot of the pictures.
