Oxhey Chapel:
Built on an 18th century monastic site in 1612 by Sir James Altham as the chapel to his new hall, Oxhey Chapel, now surrounded by 1940s housing, is to be found between the brand-new parish church and its vicarage. The little flint and brick building comes as a delicious suprise. Its superb font, reredos, west doorway, roof, communion rails, chancel paving and the Altham monument are all 17th century. The seating arrangement and other furnishings date from a restoration in 1897, but complement the earlier work.
