Did you know a small suburb in London, named Golders Green, used to be just a place with watercress beds? The arrival of Fr Bendon in the 1900s, though, changed all that. Golders Green parish church was built in 1915, its construction going on during WWI. It wasn’t easy, as the builders had to be those too old to be called up for the war effort. The church was dedicated to St. Edward the Confessor, after the saint had given the surrounding lands to the Benedictines in the old days. Today, it’s a stunning example of the Gothic Revival style, standing tall above the neighborhood. Just imagine those builders bringing the whole thing to life, with all those intricate details, during those challenging times. It’s a testament to their perseverance. The church was finally cleared of debt and consecrated in 1930, by Bishop Butt. In 1947, the memorial window over the High Altar was installed by Canon Thornton and the Parishioners, in thanksgiving for the church’s survival during WWII. The memorial also celebrates the heroism of Captain Michael Allmand, a local who earned the Victoria Cross for his bravery in the Far East. This parish church, with its rich history, stands as a beacon of resilience.
