Community of the Holy Name

The Community of the Holy Name (CHN) is an international Anglican religious order for women.

The community was founded in 1865 by Father George William Herbert (3 October 1830 – 14 November 1894), parish priest of St Peter's Church, Vauxhall, London.

The chapel (1891-3) at Malvern by Sir Ninian Comper and William Bucknall is now a Grade II* listed building.

[3] CHN moved to its current location in Hessle in the East Riding of Yorkshire in June 2021.

The intention to live as one community was a powerful statement in the face of the Apartheid regime that was coming into force just across the border in South Africa.

The sisters today work extensively with both school children and victims of AIDS.
