Trail 2: Baltic Church and Brookwood Cemetery

In 1966 the first Latvian congregation’s service was held at St. Anne and St. Agnes Church in London and the premises of church were rented for the next 21 years. In 2014 Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church had to move to new premises as the rental price grew to unaffordable. Today Latvian Church in the UK has 6 congregations with 3 pastors and a non-stipendiary Dean.
