St Gregory’s is served today by the Benedictine monks of Douai Abbey, located in Berkshire. The English Benedictine Congregation has provided parish priests for Stratford-upon-Avon continuously since the church was completed in 1866 and for many years before that – when England was missionary territory. The monks, living as chaplains to the Smythe family at Wootton Hall, Wootton Wawen, some 6 miles from Stratford, looked after the spiritual needs of the parish, often in conditions of difficulty and danger. The church replaced the Chapel of Our Lady of La Salette, which was located in Rother Street.
