St Patrick's Church, Soho Square
St Patrick's Church is a very large Roman Catholic Parish Church in Soho Square, London that features extensive catacombs (that spread deep under the Square and further afield). St. Pats (as it is informally known) was consecrated on September 29, 1792, the first Catholic church built in England after the English Reformation.
The church has an unusual longish shape due to plot constrictions given at that time. The building is constructed out of bricks with a bell-tower. The main entrance has a Roman-style porch with Corinthian columns. Above the entrance is an inscription: "VT CHRISTIANI ITA ET ROMANI SITIS".
