Stotfold: Former Three Counties Lunatic Asylum Church

The church was designed by the same architect, George Fowler Jones, who designed the main asylum buildings. It was completed in 1879 and is constructed of yellow brick with ashlar and red brick dressings. The bell tower visible here has four stages with light slits on the middle stages and a clock on each of the two visible faces. The clocks are not original having been replaced in 1982. Regretfully the clocks had stopped on the day that the photograph was taken. The church has, since 1997, been a Grade II Listed Building.
