u003cpu003eSince the laying of its foundation stone in 1851, the church of Holy Trinity Brook Green has been a centre for the Catholic faith in West London. Coming to be known as ´Little Rome´, or ´Pope´s Corner´ at some point after the Reformation, this quarter of London came to be recognised as a place of safety for Catholics and a place of Catholic education.u003c/pu003e u003cpu003eTradition has it that it was thanks to Queen Catherine of Braganza, the Portuguese and Catholic wife of Charles II, who from 1686 had a house on Hammersmith Mall, that a small community of English Nuns from Munich settled at the Great House in 1668, thereby creating the nucleus of a Catholic religious presence in the area that has never since been extinguished.u003c/pu003e u003cpu003eTo this day home to some significant Catholic relics, the Church maintains its position as an important hub for the faith, and the centre of a flourishing congregation and wider community. u003c/pu003e
