Abstract

During the 18th century in London, the embassies’ chapels of the Catholic countries often were the only available places of worship for the London Catholics. The church of the Savoy diplomatic representation, the Sardinian chapel, also showed such a vocation, assuming over time a hegemonic position in the context of the sacred spaces of the British capital, so to appear to many observers as a kind of parish for all the Catholics (either English or not) residing in London. The developments of the Sardinian chapel (which have been analyzed here on the basis of archive sources nearly unexplored until now) combine with the mutable juridical conditions which the faithful of the Roman Church were subjected to during the 1700s, as well as with the evolution of the diplomatic relationship between the British and the Savoy governments.
