Historical notes on English Catholic missions, Kelly, Bernard W. (Rev), 1907:
On Rosary Sunday 1904 a chapel was opened in the Lorrimore Road by Bishop Amigo, of Southwark. For some time the mission was served from St. George's Cathedral, Southwark, but since 1905 the Rev. Geo. Palmer has been the rector.The present church was built ca.1914. The Mission became a separate ecclesiastical parishan ecclesiastical parish is an administrative area within the Church of England or Roman Catholic church. It is distinct from the civil parish, a local government unit in England in 1920. However in November 1940 the church was badly damaged during an air raid. The church was restored ca. 1948. There is no graveyard at the St. Wilfrid's church. We know of only three Roman Catholic cemeteries in the London area, St. Mary's in Kensal Green, St. Patrick's in Leytonstone, and St. Mary Magdalene in Mortlake. Many local cemeteries may have Roman Catholic sections see https://www.southwark.gov.uk/births-deaths-marriage-civil-partnership-and-citizenship/deaths-funerals-and-cremations/cemeteries-and-crematorium The Roman Catholic church of St Wilfrid is located in the Anglican ecclesiastical parishan ecclesiastical parish is an administrative area within the Church of England or Roman Catholic church.
