Chapel, Harefield Hospital, Harefield

A small room on the upper floor of a block containing other non clinical facilities opposite the main hospital building. It was built 1933-1937 by W.T. Curtis of Middlesex County Council.

St Mary, Church Hill, Harefield

One of outer London’s most fascinating churches. It lies south of the village centre down a long driveway. The church is mainly 14th century, with a 13th century chancel.The tower and north aisle are 16th century. However the interior is the a main feature, there are plaster ceilings from the 18th century by Henry Keene, a chancel crammed full of monuments and raised so high above the nave to accommodate a mausoleum that the three decker pulpit hardly shows above its floor. Most monuments are to the Newdigate family from the 15th to the 19th century.

St Paul, Merles Avenue, Harefield (Roman Catholic)

In the centre of the village, a church of 1964 by Broadbent, Hastings, Read & New of Twickenham, originally a dual purpose building but a separate hall was created in 1973-74. Since my earlier visit in 2012 the exterior of the church has gained a new entrance, Calvary, lettering and upper cladding.
