More about this scene
The picturesque growth of trees and ivy which has been allowed to flourish unchecked took its toll on the brick structure, and the church, probably designed by Nicholas Stone and consecrated by Archbishop Laud in 1632, has had to be defoliated and properly consolidated in recent years. The graveyard, with its good collection of 18th-century tombs, has also been cleared and mown. At the time of writing, this remarkable building is visually threatened by a proposal to build an estate of run-of-the-mill houses and flats on the redundant RAF Stanmore, immediately to the west of the churchyard boundary.
