Our Lady of Ransom Church is the main Roman Catholic church serving the town and borough of Eastbourne in East Sussex, England. English Heritage has listed the building at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.

History edit

Architecture edit

Dedication edit

The dedication of the church was adopted in late 1890, when the old Arcade Church had just opened, and was carried over to the new building. It refers to the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy, a 13th-century Catholic religious order which is also known as the Order of Our Lady of Ransom.[1] Father Philip Fletcher,[2] who lived in the Eastbourne area in the 19th century, formed a Guild of the Order of Ransom, and the name appealed to Father Charles Stapley.[1] The dedication is uncommon; other Roman Catholic churches registered for worship under this name are at Rayleigh in Essex[3] and Llandrindod Wells in Powys.[note 1][4]

Administration and services edit

The church is licensed for worship in accordance with the Places of Worship Registration Act 1855 and has the registration number 38846.[5]

Our Lady of Ransom is the main church in the parish of Eastbourne, which is one of five parishes (covering ten churches) which make up the Deanery of Eastbourne.[6] In turn, this is one of 13 deaneries in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Arundel and Brighton.[7] The parish covers central Eastbourne, and Our Lady of Ransom's position in the town centre is augmented by churches serving the west end (St Gregory's) and east end (St Agnes') of the town.

In 2005–06, the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton[note 2] analysed the attendance, capacity and parish structure of all of its churches. It reported that two priests served the parish of Eastbourne, and that the Mass attendance across all three churches was 1,257. Our Lady of Ransom Church offered three Sunday Masses, and the seating capacity was stated to be 500.[9]
