St Francis Oxhey Hall

This was a daughter church of St Matthew. The building was also used by the local community and by Broadfield School, a junior department of Brookside House Grammar School in High Road, Harrow Weald. It was closed in 1970, by which time the congregation had fallen to about 40, and the site was redeveloped as St Francis Close. The old vicarage has remained and is now incorporated into 13-14 St Francis Close. Here are some photographs of the church. Pictures by Nicola Marlow.
