In actual terms this church is in the northern Watford suburb of Garston. The church was designed by George Gilbert Scott in 1853. Following 8 months of closure it  reopened in June 2014 with a new roof and audio-visual systems. Much of the glass is by Wailes of Newcastle and contemporary with the church.
