History and architecture [ edit ]
A view of the nave and high altar from the back of the church There has existed a Catholic place of worship on the site of St Mary's since 1812, when the first Catholic chapel in Chelsea, and one of the first in the country since the Reformation , was erected. It was established by Abbé Jean Voyaux de Franous, who arrived in London in 1793 having previously been Royal Almoner to Louis XVI .[ 4] De Franous was responsible for the spiritual welfare of the veteran soldiers at Chelsea College (now the Royal Hospital Chelsea ), as well as all those at the Chelsea and Knightsbridge Barracks. The chapel was intended to be used primarily by the soldiers and veterans of the Royal Hospital, though funding for its construction was gathered from across France and the United Kingdom.
After the death of de Franous, parishioners proposed a comprehensive scheme to build a church, a convent, schools, almshouses and a cemetery that would in some ways resemble the medieval conception of parish life. These were mostly built between 1845 and 1855, though the foundation stone of the present church was not laid until 1877. Designed by John Francis Bentley (1839–1902), the church was opened and blessed by Cardinal Manning in May 1879.[ 2]
