Oxhey Chapel, Gothic church building in Watford Rural, England.
The rectangular chapel features alternating patterns of knapped flint and red brick walls, complemented by stone dressings and a tiled roof structure.
Sir James Altham constructed the chapel in 1612 as a private place of worship for his family and staff at nearby Oxhey Place.
The interior displays collegiate-style wooden stalls facing each other, with a detailed reredos containing Solomonic columns framing religious texts.
The chapel stands between the new parish church and vicarage, with Carpenders Park overground station located half a mile away.
During the English Civil War in 1649, Parliamentary forces used the chapel as storage and created musket balls from its lead roof materials.
