The People's Prayer Book
A (very) small exhibition of Prayer Books at St Paul's Cathedral includes a reference to Saint Jude's.

Brenda Deane, 81, from the Barbican in the
City of London, has been going to St Paul's for 36 years. Every Sunday morning she can be found
wearing a red sash gathering the collection from a congregation
of up to 40 taking early communion.
"There are about 10 who come regularly
and if people don't come we get quite worried; we've now
exchanged email addresses."
The red collection bags she uses are about 90
years old and she sometimes takes them home to stitch their linings.
Miss Deane’s father was a firewatcher
tasked with putting out incendiaries that landed on the roof during the Blitz.
