Early afternoon in winter sunshine, looking north. The parish website http://www.iverparish.co.uk/ of St Peter's and St Leonard's, Iver, tells us: "St Leonard's is the small "daughter" church in Richings Park. It started life in 1840 as a little square community room for the estate workers of the Richings Park mansion. In order to become a proper place of worship for the community, it had a small chancel area added to it in 1874 and it was named Thorney Chapel. When the Richings Park estate of houses and the new Iver station were built in the 1920's, many more people came to the area. Thorney Chapel was doubled in length to its present size in 1931 and was renamed St Leonard's Church in 1942."
