Extension and reordering project - St Lawrence Church Bovingdon

On this page you will find the latest information about our proposals to extend and reorder the church.

Our plans for an extension on the North East corner of our church were approved by Dacorum Borough Council on 10th March. You can read the full report on our application here.

Dacorum planning recommendation March 2022

Our current facilities are inadequate for the 21^st century and this extension will provide a modern and comfortable space which will benefit both the church and the community.

We are currently working on plans to reorder the inside of the church to create an open, flexible space suitable for modern church worship and for church and community events including concerts, fundraisers and festivals. These plans will be submitted to the Diocese of St Albans and various conservation bodies for consultation.

We have a precious heritage asset which we are committed to maintaining; the best way to achieve this is through a dedicated and growing church congregation and increased community use.

Here is a brochure prepared in 2021 describing the scheme and what it will achieve:
