Its benefice is combined with those of three local churches to form the Parr Team Ministry. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History St Peter's replaced an earlier church nearby that was burnt down in 1860. It was designed by J. Medland Taylor, and built in 1864–65. The church cost £2,600. Architecture Exterior The walls of the church are built in a mixture of red and yellow sandstone and industrial waste in the form of copper slag, and the roofs are slated. Its plan consists of a nave, north and south aisles under catslide roofs, a double south transept, a chancel with a canted east end, a south vestry and a north organ loft (both under catslide roofs), and a tower with a broach spire at the southwest corner. The tower has a south entrance with a pointed tympanum containing a quatrefoil and crossed keys. It has corner buttresses, lancet windows, and paired bell openings. At the top are squat pyramidal pinnacles, and a broach spire surmounted by a weathervane. The window at the west end of the church has two lights and contains plate tracery. Along the wall of the south aisle are triple lancets with roundels above. On the north side the windows are either triple lancets, or double lancets with roundels. The transept is in two bays, each containing a triple lancet over which is a rose window. In the chancel are three windows, each of two lights containing plate tracery. Interior Inside the church are six-bay arcades on round columns, and the chancel arch is carried on round corbels. The font is circular on a circular base, and the pulpit is also circular. The chancel screen is in timber, and dates from about 1920. In the transept is a wall memorial to Revd Abraham Augustus Nunn, the first incumbent of the church, who died in 1889. The two-manual pipe organ was designed by Henry Willis; the date of its installation is unknown. Appraisal The church was designated as a Grade II listed building on 23 August 1985. This grade is the lowest of the three gradings given to listed buildings and is applied to "buildings of national importance and special interest". Pollard and Pevsner in the Buildings of England series note that this was an early church design by J. Medland Taylor, and that it is "by no means his best".

The base of the statue is a ventilation shaft for Bank and Monument stations on the London Underground. It was converted during expansion of Bank station in 1994. History While sitting for a later portrait by Charles Robert Leslie, Wellington recalled that Chantrey had told him he had a square head. After Chantrey's sudden death his studio assistant Henry Weekes completed the sculpture. Wellington attended the unveiling of his statue on 18 June 1844. The date was chosen to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo, where Wellington led an allied army to victory against Napoleon, in 1815. Frederick Augustus II, King of Saxony, who was in London visiting Queen Victoria, also attended the unveiling. Description The equestrian statue was erected to show the city's gratitude for Wellington's help in assisting the passage of the London Bridge Approaches Act 1827. This Act led to the creation of King William Street. "Wellington" is inscribed on each side of the plinth; on its ends is the inscription "Erected June 18, 1844". A brass plaque at the plinth's base reads: On 19th July 1838 the Court of Common Council of the City of London agreed to a contribution of £500 toward the cost of the above statue of the Duke of Wellington in appreciation of his efforts in assisting the passage of the London Bridge Approaches Act 1827. This Act led to the creation of King William Street. The government donated the metal, which is bronze from captured enemy cannon melted down after the Battle of Waterloo, and valued at the time at £1500. The total cost of the statue was £9000. The remainder being raised by public subscription. The sculptor, Sir Francis Chantrey (1781 to 1841), was commissioned in 1838 but died before the work was completed. It was finished by his assistant Henry Weekes (1807 to 1877). The Lord Mayor, William Magnay, unveiled the statue on 18th June 1844, the anniversary of Waterloo, in the presence of his guest the King of Saxony. Adjoining the statue, a piece of granite from London Bridge (1825 to 1967) has been set into the pavement by the Corporation of London. The elevational stonework from the same bridge was re-erected over the Colorado River in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, USA, in 1971.

Fox and Pheasant

The Fox and Pheasant is a pub at 1 Billing Road, Chelsea, London SW10 9UJ. The Fox and Pheasant Public House was built c.1846-8 on land acquired by Edward Gingell from William Allen. Allen was said to have been an unreasonable and litigious man and the odd curved section dividing the frontage of the pub could derive from his wrangling over the sale of the land or the line of the buildings. It was originally called the Bedford Arms, then the Prince of Wales ten years later, and in 1965 it was renamed the Fox & Pheasant. It was fully refitted in about 1930, and that interior remains largely unchanged today. It is on Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors and is part of the Billings conservation area.

The Green Dragon, Flaunden

The Green Dragon is a Grade II listed public house in Flaunden, Hertfordshire, England. The rear wing, a timber-framed structure, is the oldest part of the building and dates from the early 17th century. History Formerly a residential house, what is now the Green Dragon was built in the early 17th Century, with the front range rebuilt in the early 19th Century and a side extension following in the 1980s. Much of the interior of the pub still contains the original timber frame, whilst the frontage is red brick, and the roof red tile. The tap room was built in 1838, whilst much of the rest of the pub has remained unchanged since the 19th century. Among the Green Dragon's past clientele are two infamous figures, Nazi politician Joachim von Ribbentrop and Soviet spy Guy Burgess. Von Ribbentrop was a regular at the Green Dragon during the 1930s when he stayed at his weekend house in nearby Latimer during his time as the German Ambassador to the United Kingdom. Due to his involvement in the Nazi regime, von Ribbentrop would be sentenced to death as a result of the Nuremberg Trials. As a result of Hermann Göring committing suicide, von Ribbentrop became the first of those sentenced to be executed; he was hanged on 16 October 1946. Burgess meanwhile often visited the Green Dragon when he stayed in Flaunden with his boyfriend, Peter Pollock, who lived in the Sharlowes farmhouse not far from the pub. Burgess would defect to the Soviet Union in May 1951, however, he is reported to have met with fellow Cambridge Five member Donald MacLean in the Tap Room of the Green Dragon the day prior to their defection. The Green Dragon has been under the custodianship of one family for three generations, having been run by Bob and Ida Burgess since 1932, before being passed on to their daughter Barbara. During the late 1930s when Barbara was a child, she played in the garden with two young girls who were staying at Latimer House. Unbeknown to Barbara and her parents at the time, these two girls were the daughters of King George VI and would grow up to become Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret. Present Day The Green Dragon is listed on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors register, and is the only pub in Hertfordshire to be listed as having an "interior of national importance". This is due in large part to the snug being made up of two or more high backed settles, of which there are only a handful left in the country. The pub prides itself on being a "focal point for traditional rural pursuits" and during the game season its "Tap Room" is visited by shooters following a day of sport.
