Gustard Wood

St Peter, LNK, was built in 1910 as a mission church. The principal funder, Laura Pearce, relict of the incumbent at nearby Wheathampstead, responded to the appeal to raise funds for a corrugated iron chapel by saying “For an iron church I will give you nothing; but make it a permanent church and I will give you a thousand pounds”.

The result is rather dreary although I did like Capt FM Drury's original WWI wooden cross which is kept out side the chancel.

Neither Pevsner nor Mee mention it.
