St Joseph Church is a Roman Catholic Parish church in Roehampton in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It was founded by the Jesuits in 1869 and designed by Frederick Walters.〔(Sacred Church Heart, Wimbledon ) from British Listed Buildings retrieved 16 March 2014〕 It is situated on the corner of Roehampton Lane and Medfield Street. ==History== The Jesuits arrived in Roehampton during the mid-nineteenth century and created a novitiate, Manresa House, which became Whitelands College, now part of the University of Roehampton. In 1869, they started a mission to the local Catholics in the area. In 1881, they decided to build a church that would permanently accommodate the congregation. They asked Frederick Walters to design the church for them. It was the first church he designed for the Jesuits and would go on to design more buildings for them, such as Sacred Heart Church, Wimbledon, St Winefride Church, South Wimbledon and the chapel of Wimbledon College. 〔(St Joseph Roehampton ) retrieved 5 February 2014〕 In 1948, the Jesuits left Manresa House and moved their novitiate to Harlaxton Manor. They also handed the administration of the church over to the Diocese of Southwark who continue to serve the parish. In 1958, the church was extended and in 1998 it was re-ordered.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St Joseph Church, Roehampton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
