Our Lady, Queen of the English Martyrs is a hypothetical design for a parish church in the grand building tradition of Catholic Chicago. Inspired by English and Roman Baroque models, the parish is intended to serve a congregation of converts from Episcopalianism as members of what is known as the Pastoral Provision.
