Welcome to St Teresa's Catholic Church, Beaconsfield, England - the Parish of Gilbert Keith Chesterton.

St Teresa's Church is located in Beaconsfield New Town and is situated opposite Bekonscot Model Village - a local tourist attraction. To find us couldn't be easier - just follow the signs to the Model Village and they will lead you right into our car park, which visitors to Bekonscot are also permitted to use.

The church was built in 1926, the year after St Therese of Lisieux was canonised, and so was one of the first churches in England to be dedicated to her. It is built in neo-gothic style which gives it a traditional atmosphere as you can see from the pictures of the interior. But it is small enough to feel homely and, we hope, welcoming.

Our most illustrious parishioner was Gilbert Keith Chesterton. Many of the artifacts in the church are associated with him - including a statue of Our Lady - and, the tower end of the church with its Martyrs Chapel was completed as a memorial to him.

If you are visiting, feel free to contact us for a tour of the church. If you are planning to move to the area you may be sure of a warm welcome. If you are looking for a Catholic school for your children St Joseph's Catholic Combined School serves the Parish.

Whether for a short visit or a long stay we hope you will enjoying being part of our "living community of faith"
