More about this scene

Chorleywood is on the south side of the Chess valley. Chorleywood Common survived an attempt at enclosure and we see it here in its late 19th-century gorse-covered state. The cricket ground is to the left in the distance, the Manor House in the centre and Christchurch spire to its right. At the right is the old rectory of 1870, now replaced by a 1960s' one.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I was born in Mill End, Rickmansworth in 1950 and have no idea what church this is a photo of. I went to infant school in Shepherds' Lane, Mill End opposite St. Peters' and it isn't that. I then went to Ricky Grammar School in 1961, in Croxley Green and opposite was All Saints' and it isn't that. Is it at the back of Our Lady Helper of Christians, near the Fortune Green at the bottom of Scots' Hill?
