Church of Our Lady of Hal, Camden Town

The church was completed in 1933, and was under the authority of the Missionary Fathers of Scheut in Belgium until it came under the Catholic Diocese of Westminster in 1982.

[1] The church is the site for the English shrine to Our Lady of Hal, a medieval statue believed to be miraculous, in Halle, Belgium.

On either side of the central section are single bays with plain rectangular windows beneath a steep pitched roof with large dormers.

[5] This area was refurbished and extended in about 2005 to include self-contained accommodation for six priests and parish administration offices and community facilities including a large Function Room built over a little-used courtyard at the building's rear which connects with the main church building.

[7] In the three arches over the main entrance are decorative mosaics; the one in the centre depicts Our Lady of Hal, flanked by shields of arms.
