Description:
In the mid-19th century, when plans were being made to develop the area around Earls Court Manor House (next to the site of the present-day Earls Court station), Captain James gave a portion of the Court Fields as a site for a new church. St Jude’s opened on Christmas Eve, 1870.
Today St Jude’s is surrounded by a deeply sunken garden, with banks of azaleas, rhododendrons and a miniature bog garden and rockery. There are also ornamental flowerbeds and an abundance of self-seeded violets.
