St John’s Church Tour, Boxmoor

St. John's Church in Boxmoor has a history that spans from a small chapel to a larger parish church. Initially, a chapel of ease was built in 1830 to serve the growing population, and it was later replaced by the existing church. Built in 1873/4 and extended in 1893, St John’s Church is one of only twelve Grade II listed churches in Hertfordshire. It was designed by Richard Norman Shaw, the architect of numerous notable buildings built during the Victorian period; New Scotland Yard and Norman Shaw buildings on the Embankment, Cragside in Northumberland, amongst many others.
St John’s has a wonderful collection of nine stained or painted glass windows dating from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and one window of ‘dalle-de-verre’, a glass art technique developed by Jean Gaudin in Paris in the 1930s. A painting of The Last Supper behind the altar is from 1908.
