Moorhall Farm, Harefield, Greater London
Moor Hall Chapel and adjoining farmhouse. Moorhall was a small settlement where the Knights Hospitallers had established a cell by 1333. The settlement probably consisted of little beyond a chapel and farm-buildings. The farmhouse was destroyed by fire in 1922. In 1926 the chapel had fallen into a state of disrepair. It was fully restored by public subscription and used as a Sunday school. The chapel again becam derelict in the late 1940s. It was demolished by Uxbridge council in 1960 after a long campaign to save and restore it. It was one of only three surviving chapels built by the Knights Hospitallers in England and its demolition was debated in Parliament.
