The Blackwell's Changes & The 1960s Restoration
The building reached its present form in 1897, when the vestries were built and the pews were arranged in collegiate fashion; work paid for by Thomas Blackwell, of Cross & Blackwell the food manufacturers, who then lived at Oxhey Place. By 1962 the chapel was in bad repair and in the severe winter of 1962/3 part of the roof fell in. An appeal raised £6,000 and extensive work was carried out including the complete replacement of the roof tiles. The original tiles were sold to the late violinist, Yehudi Menuhin and were reused at his house in Hampstead.
