Westminster, St James
- Our Lady of the Assumption and St Gregory
A Catholic chapel belonging to the Portuguese embassy existed here in the early 18th century until the Bavarian Embassy took over the premises in 1747. The chapel was seriously damaged by fire in the Gordon Riots of 1780, the present chapel opening in 1790. It became the parish church in 1854 with the title "Church of the Assumption" but continued to be known as the Bavarian Chapel until the early 20th century.
