Church House, Westminster

Church House is the headquarters of the Church of England, occupying the south end of Dean's Yard next to Westminster Abbey in London. Besides providing administrative offices for the Church Commissioners and a chamber for the General Synod, the building also provided a meeting place for the Parliament of the United Kingdom and some of the organs of the United Nations during the Second World War, and has more recently has been the venue for several notable public enquiries.
==Origins==
The idea of a central meeting and administrative building for the Church of England had been raised twice in the mid 19th century and was finally acted upon in 1886 when the Bishop of Carlisle, Dr Harvey Goodwin, suggested in a letter to ''The Times'' that the church should construct a "Church House" as a memorial of the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria. Accordingly, a charity called the Corporation of the Church House was founded by Royal Charter on 23 February 1888, with the aim of raising the necessary funds and executing the project.〔(''The Church House 1888-1988'' p. 3 )〕
A site was selected in Dean's Yard, close to Westminster Abbey and Westminster School. During 1888, sufficient funds had been raised to purchase the freehold on a block of buildings occupying the south side of Dean's Yard and bordered by Great Smith Street, Little Smith Street and Tufton Street. These buildings included the Westminster Free Library (which relocated to the other side of Great Smith Street) and a boarding house for pupils at Westminster School.〔(''The Church House 1888-1988'' p. 4 )〕 The leases on 10 and 11 Dean's Yard could be purchased outright and these became the offices of the corporation several other Anglican societies, and were inaugurated as the first Church House on 21 July 1888.〔(''The Church House 1888-1988'' p. 5 )〕
