The Chapter House

Under the tower is the door leading into the Chapter House. Two inscriptions are scrawled on the wall 'This doorway was  stopped Mar 5th by M Evans, Pulloxhill’ and ‘The wall that stood in front of these doors was knocked down and doors opened by A P Blunt, Flitwick, on 14 March 1984.’

The doors which stood here are now leaning against the south wall at he back of the church.

In the early 1980s there was an urgent need for an extension to the church and for kitchen and toilet facilities.

Our Chapter House was dedicated in May 1984.  This modern octagonal building was designed by Bruno Hooker to blend in with the existing church.

Major work will have to be carried out on the Chapter House due to bad design. The roof and associated ring beam timbers will need re-doing, as will the windows.
