- Our Lady of the Forest Church was a Roman Catholic church in Forest Row, a village in East Sussex in southern England. The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark built the church in the 1950s. When the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton was formed in 1965 from part of Southwark's territory, it assumed responsibility for the church. It was registered for marriages in February 1959, but closed in 2009. The President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, attended mass at the church in 1963. The church closed after mass on Christmas Day in 2009. The church had a regular congregation of 50 and 90 at the time of its closure. The primary reason for the closure of the church was a shortage of priests; retired priests were conducting services at the church in the absence of the parish priest, Fr Steven Purnell. Following the closure of the church the fittings and vestments were moved to the parish of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Kwadaso-Kumasi in the Archdiocese of Kumasi in northern Ghana. The congregation is now part of Our Lady and St Peter's Church in nearby East Grinstead. (en)
