GARRISON CHURCH OF St KATHERINE-UPON-THE HOE,
ROYAL CITADEL

The Church of St Katherine-upon-the Hoe is situated within the walls of the Royal Citadel and is the Garrison Church of the Royal Artillery.

St Katherine's Church was first mentioned in 1370 in the register of Bishop Brantyngham, Bishop of Exeter.

The present building was erected at the same time as the Royal Citadel and was enlarged in 1845.

The altar plate was given by Louis Dufour, who also had the statue of King George II erected on the Citadel Green.

It is claimed that this was the last building belonging to the Church of England in which Requiem Mass was celebrated, when the body of a distinguished foreigner was brought here.
