Church House is the building that serves as the headquarters of the Church of England, occupying the south end of Dean's Yard next to Westminster Abbey in London.
The current building, designed by Sir Herbert Baker, is a 1930s replacement of the original building, commissioned in 1902 by the 1888-formed Corporation of the Church House to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee of 1887. Though delayed at first by the recession of the early 1930s, the foundation stone was laid by Queen Mary on June 26, 1937, and the building was official opened by King George VI on June 10, 1940.

Housechurch is an informal term for a group of Christians gathering regularly or spontaneously in a home or on grounds not normally used for worship services, instead of a building dedicated to the purpose.
Some churches meet in houses because they lack a conventional church building; these are not normally regarded as housechurches as the intent is to eventually move into an offsite facility.
Chinese housechurch - be aware that Chinese housechurches typically have a leadership structure (including a pastor) that resembles "underground traditionally structured churches" (or "cell churches") in contrast to what is generally considered to be a "housechurch" in countries with religious freedom and tolerance.
