Notes on Church:
The original church was designed by the architect Percy Aiden Lamb, and work started just 26 days before the outbreak of the 1st World War. Only one Aisle and a Chantry or Side Chapel were built, in an ornate Gothic Revival style, being opened in July 1915. It was then 48 years before the church was given a very large extension by the architect Percy Kelly, in a modern style based on a concrete structure, which opened in 1963.

Introduction to Stained Glass:The Chantry Chapel, part of the 1915 building, has 4 stained glass windows, but their date or maker is not known. There are another 3 stained glass windows which were presumably installed for the 1963 extension, but again we cannot be sure of the maker. The authorities at the church are trying to find this information for www.buckschurches.uk.
