Christ Church Spitalfields

There isn’t one! Of course, Freemasons can be found in many walks of life and one of their origins is of course those who worked with stone. Christ Church clearly had many stone-masons involved when it was originally built. Beyond that there have been ficticous rumours but today and for many years we can attest to the fact that there are no links between Christ Church and the Freemasons.

These are to be found at Bancroft Road Tower Hamlets reference library. The church only keeps recent records within the last 10-15 years.

For lots on information visit our Friends site. There were just six of the envisaged twelve Hawksmoor churches built in London and they are:

• St Alfege Greenwich
• Christ Church Spitalfields
• St George in the East Wapping
• St Anne Limehouse
• St Mary Woolnoth
• St George Bloomsbury

Other than that one city of London church has a tower designed by Hawksmoor, we shall leave you to find that yourself!

Sunday mornings parking is regulated - do please park carefully so as not to get a ticket. Whites Row car park is just across commercial street and usually has places at most times of the week. Weddings and funeral parking can be arranged with the vergers.

Not yet but we hope that one day there may be one in our crypt. In the meantime we would encourage you to try one of the many wonderful eateries in the local neighbourhood. A favourite of many of us is the Market House Coffee shop in Brushfield Street where soon you will be able to lean against paneling that once was part of our church!

Yes we have a disabled toilet at the nave level and two blocks of toilets in our crypt.

The church is open on Sundays after the morning services, from 1pm-4pm during the week we try and open Monday-Friday 11-4 except where there are events taking place. Tuesdays we guarantee to be open and to have stewards on hand to welcome you and answer your questions.

Got a question about anything to do with our church? Hopefully it will be answered here - if not, do get in touch!
