St Peter's Garden is an old churchyard of Image It is still consecrated ground but, with the permission of the diocese, is now a public open space. The path leads down to Church Lane.

This plaque is in Church Lane at the entrance to St Peter's Garden. It is one of several on the Celfunde Inheritance Walk and has the image of John Nembhard Hibbert and the following wording: In 1866 John Nembhard Hibbert of Chalfont Park 'gave a parcel of land containing one Rood and twenty seven Perches situated in the said parish of Chalfont St Peter bounded on the south-east, south-west and south by allotment gardens and on the north-east and north-west by Love's Delight Meadow to the ancient Parish Church for a burial ground'.

In 1708 the medieval church was destroyed by the Tower falling into the nave. A contemporary style church replaced it but was largely altered and extended in the mid 19th century.

The old church here collapsed in 1708 and the new church, including this west tower, was rebuilt in brick and completed by either 1714 or 1726 depending on which current internet source one uses. The body of the church beyond the tower was substantially modified and extended in Victorian times. Of interest here are the semi-octagonal stair turret on the right, the roof battlements and the rounded belfry windows. The tower is of red brick with stone quoins.

A couple of days after 23 April and a fine array of flags of St George bedeck this mock-Tudor shopping parade with its half-timbered gables dating from 1922. Of course there is always one who bucks the trend!
