london, catholic apostolic church

On maida avenue, this irvingite church is one of few stll open to believers, but they do not welcome photographers. An odd anachronism, this bunch are rich due to gifts from victorian believers and still own some massive churches and much other property in england and scotland, and remain secretive and apocalyptic. The church here is by pearson 1891-3. I did once gain entry, but the caretaker was adamant that no photos should be taken, and was unwilling to discuss the beliefs of a sect whose apostles died a century ago without having seen the expected end of the world.
