ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH OF ST JOHN FISHER.
SHIRE LANE, CHORLEYWOOD, THREE RIVERS, HERTFORDSHIRE.
Formerly known as Hill Cottage.
"A curious building as it is a conversion of a domestic
property called Hill Cottage built in 1895.
Architecturally its importance is
that the worship area is in an extension of 1905 designed by C.F.A. Voysey
one
of the key domestic architects in Britain around the turn of the 20th century."
