Frogmore

Despite my inherent prejudice I rather like Holy Trinity and having read Pevsner I suspect that because it's an Early George Gilbert Scott build this is not a run of the mill building. I particularly liked the Neo-Norman features although authorities, including Pevsner, are sniffy.

HOLY TRINITY, 1842. Norman, of flint, with red brick dressings and stone details: singularly violent and raw contrast. Bellcote, E apse, nave, and aisles; no galleries. The interest of the church is the name of its architect : Sir George Gilbert Scott. He cannot in later life have thought with much pleasure of this youthful effort.





Mee is proving to be rather unreliable on Hertfordshire villages having missed here as well as Old Hall Green.
