More about this scene
To this day, the Moor provides excellent recreational facilities. The Hemel Hempstead Cricket Club plays at Heath Park, and Boxmoor Cricket Club plays on the 'Oval' in St John's Road. Hemel Hempstead (Camelot) Rugby Club use Chaulden Meadow. Even though Boxmoor village has survived, it was destined to be surrounded by the New Town. Northridge Way, to the west of the village, was one of the new roads that led to the neighbourhoods of Chaulden and Warners End. (Dacorum Heritage Trust Ltd) Over the years Boxmoor village has hardly changed. The Roman Catholic Church, St Mary and St Joseph, was built in St John's Road in 1898. The present Victorian Gothic Church of St John the Evangelist, built in April 1874 on the moor, replaced the 1829 Chapel of Ease.
