The Chantry Chapel, London Colney
Accessed down a footpath marked private at the north end of the former All Saints Pastoral Centre. It sits on a small wooded island surrounded by a dry moat. There are low walls, restored in the 20th century and a small sentry box type construction housing a small altar. It is said to be the site of St Alban’s capture prior to his execution.

All Saints Pastoral Centre, London Colney
Built as an Anglican convent in 1899 by Leonard Stokes, the chapel was added (eastern 3 bays) by Sir Ninian Comper in 1927 and completed by Sebastian Comper in 1964. It became a Roman catholic pastoral centre in 1973 but closed in 2011. From spring 2013 the buildings are used by Bell an English Language College. In September 2014 the college door has a sign saying chapel and bookshop are closed. There is now some sort of scaffolding across the tracery of many of the chapel windows. The site is still signed as the Pastoral Centre and there is still open access to the grounds.

St Peter, London Colney
Just off the main road facing onto the attractive riverside, a neo Norman church of 1825 by George Smith. The interior shots are taken through two layers of glass door as the church is normally locked, apologies for the reflections.
