Hemel Hempstead Methodist Church

Weal-Architects commissioned me to photograph their award winning Hemel Hempstead Methodist Church, a new, 200 seat church, built on a sloping site in a residential area.

The church is of brick construction, with a steeply pitched roof and ample overhang to protect the building from the elements.

A large oak cross in a glazed, cross-shaped aperture is visible from both within the principal Worship Area and from the building's exterior, where it is enhanced by a field flint surround. The Worship Area is covered by an extensive timber vault, with overhead light and cleverly screened full height windows providing even, natural illumination.   

Weal-Architects won the Hertfordshire Association of Architects Award for Best Community Project 2016 for Hemel Hempstead Methodist Church.
