The National Shrine of Saint Jude adjoining the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Faversham, England, is a Roman Catholic shrine to Saint Jude and a place of pilgrimage for Catholics and other Christians in the United Kingdom and other countries. It is located on Tanners Street, to the west of the town centre. The building dates from 1861, it became a church in 1937 and the shrine itself was built in 1955. The shrine was founded by the Order of Carmelites and it lies within the Faversham Conservation Area. In 2020, the Shrine was given five stars by the new guide 'Britain's Pilgrim Places' produced by the British Pilgrimage Trust. The authors particularly emphasised that.."the Shrine is a common meeting ground between Anglicans and Catholics since there was little historical and cultural interest in Jude during Christianity's most difficult years. He is certainly a more productive figure to contemplate than the Reformation martyrs of either side. For that reason alone this Shrine deserves the highest recommendation".
