Goldings Chapel (former), near Waterford

The chapel of Goldings (a house by William Devey 1870) which is a now a private house. The chapel dates from 1923 and was designed by Walter Godfrey of Wratten and Godfrey. It was built when the house became Barnado’s William Baker Technical School. In 1969 Herts County Council moved into the house and the chapel became a sports hall. The council moved out in 1999 and the chapel became part of a development of new housing around the house. In 2009 it was sold for £3.4 million. It can be seen from two public footpaths but it is not a good view.
