England - London and Bath

St Johns was quite large for a Catholic Church. Most of the larger churches and cathedrals we have seen in England are Anglican. The revolution in France around 1791 brought a lot of exiled Catholics to Bath. French troops invaded Flanders driving out the Benedictine Monks who returned to England and setted in this area. It wasn't until 1829 that the Catholic Emancipation Act removed most of the restrictions on English Catholics.
