Christ the King (Vita et Pax) is an architecturally notable former priory of the Olivetan order in Bramley Road, Cockfosters, north London.
It was founded in 1930 by Dom , formerly a monk of the Belgian Province of the Cassinese Congregation of the Primitive Observance.[1] The building is dated to 1940 and its design credited to Bosschaerts in Pevsner.[2]
Part of the building was later the Benedictine Centre for Spirituality, and is now the Cockfosters Spirituality Centre.[3]
The parish church of the Parish of Christ The King in Cockfosters occupies part of the building which was intended to form the parish hall for a larger church.[4][5][6] Since 2014 the parish has been administered by the Chemin Neuf Community.[7]
