- — Description[src]
St Jerome's Church[1] was a small church in Godric's Hollow. It was located close to the village square and next to a small graveyard. The area leading up to the church was called Church Lane.[2] It was quite old, having been built in or before the 13th century.[3]
History[]
1990s[]
In the 1990s, the parochial vicar was the Revd. Dr Stephen Swain. Eucharist was held every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. and on the weekdays (times posted on the church notice board).[2] Eucharist was also held in religious festivals, such as Christmas, and baptisms were also conducted on this holiday.[4] The parish also arranged weddings and funerals[2] and Eucharist was held there on every Sunday and weekdays in church. Saint Jerome was the patron saint of this church.[1]
There was a large stained-glass window with a depiction of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus over the door to the church.[5]

Behind the scenes[]
- The name of the church was not given in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. A sign giving the church's name as the "Parish Church of St Clementine" appeared in the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1.[2] The church's canonical name was finally revealed as "St Jerome's Church" in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
