St Jude's Church, Courtfield Gardens, Kensington, London, was designed by architects George Godwin and Henry Godwin, and built between 1867 and 1870; the tower and spire were constructed in 1879. It was built on the northern portion of Captain Robert Gunter's estate. The project was overseen by Reverend J. A. Aston, and financed by John Derby Allcroft, a wealthy glove manufacturer.[1] The construction, not including the tower, pulpit, font and organ cost £11,300, and was undertaken by Myers & Sons.[2]
The building is now occupied by St Mellitus College, led by the Dean, Russell Winfield. The college runs ordination and theology courses.[3] On Sundays the building is one of five sites where the church of Holy Trinity Brompton meets.
