There are two churches in Stanmore Churchyard. The old one was consecrated in 1632 by Archbishop Laud. This is the interior of the new church of St John the Evangelist, which was begun in 1849 and contains much of the furnishings of the old church - see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4736968 There are plans, which can be seen in the new church, to restore the old church, reroof it and make it into a community space. A very full account of both churches can be seen at https://www.stanmoretouristboard.org.uk/churches/st-johns-brick-church-ruin-stanmore.html
