St Mary Magdalene, Flaunden
In the far west of Hertfordshire, indeed the previous church was actually in Buckinghamshire. This was George Gilbert Scott’s first church and it is very much a building of its date – 1838. The east window has John Hayward glass of 1958. The glass by David Wasley from 1999 is, unusually, in the screen rather than a window.
