More about this scene
The old centre of Chalfont St Peter has suffered greatly, by-passed too closely and swamped by housing estates, the houses steadily increasing in size before merging with the affluent 'Metroland' of Gerrards Cross. The White Hart on the left survives, as, of course, does St Peter's church beyond the neo-Georgian shopping parade. A Georgian tower and church of the 1710s, heavily remodelled in the 1850s and recast in Gothic style in polychrome brick by G E Street: he had described the Georgian church as 'a very ugly brick church'.
