The new chapel next to the Mander organ was created in 2024.  It is dominated on the right by the Edward Strong memorial, and facing you, by the Mead window.  Edward Strong the Elder who was born in 1652 and is buried here at St Peter’s. He came from a family of stonemasons.  He died in 1724. The Strong stone masony business was at the centre of the rebuilding of London following the Great Fire of London in 1666 and the Strong’s contributed to the construction of many buildings in London and South-East England.  The Strongs supplied and installed stonework at the new St Paul’s Cathedral in 1680 and Edward became perhaps the most important contractor working under Christopher Wren.  The memorial on the wall of the chapel was erected by his son, Edward Strong the Younger.   The Mead window is St Peter’s only example of pre-Raphaelite work. Its donor, Mrs Marry Ellen Mead, arranged for its installation as a memorial to her husband and her two sons, both killed in the First World War.
