All Saints' Church, Hockerill

All Saints' Church, Hockerill is a Grade II listed building, notable for being the first church designed by the 20th-century architect Stephen Dykes Bower. It is also notable for containing a rose window by Hugh Ray Easton and a pipe organ by Henry Willis II of Henry Willis & Sons.
== History ==
For centuries Bishop's Stortford was a single parish. In response to swelling congregation numbers, it was divided into three by the vicar of St Michael's, Bishop's Stortford, Francis. W. Rhodes, father of the magnate and politician Cecil Rhodes. The first church of All Saints', Hockerill was built in 1851, designed by local architect George Pritchett and consecrated on 7 January 1852. It was a Commissioners' church, having been built with money voted by Parliament. The new parish was created and assigned to the new church by Queen Victoria on 2 February 1852. John Menet was both the first Vicar of the parish and the first Chaplain of the neighbouring Diocesan Training College for Schoolmistresses (1852), the latter now replaced by Hockerill Anglo-European College.〔"The Re-opening of All Saints' Church, Hockerill"〕
On Friday 21 June 1935 the church was gutted by a fire, making national news. Villagers first tried to put out the fire, but retreated when the fire spread to the roof. The vicar, Reginald J. Mockridge, and villagers managed to save items from the burning building including the Communion plate, records and lectern.〔"Village Church in Flames"〕 The roof collapsed within half an hour and the smoke was so dense that gas masks had to be used by the firemen.〔 The firemen were able to do little, owing to a lack of water.
Funds for the new church were already being collected the same day of the fire. The new church cost a total of £27,178 (approximately £1.4m today), of which £9528 was raised publicly (approximately £0.5m today).〔Smith p.59〕 This involved an auction to which Queen Mary of Teck gave a pair of vases, The Duchess of York (later Elizabeth the Queen Mother) gave a parchment blotter and picture of Princess Elizabeth (now Elizabeth II), and film stars gave autographed photographs. The foundation stone was laid on 20 July 1936 and the new church was consecrated on 24 July 1937.〔Orton p.36〕
