THE LEVERSTOCK GREEN CHRONICLE
an in-depth history of one village in Hertfordshire UK.
REVD. LIZZIE HOOD 
 FROM VICAR AT HOLY TRINITY 
TO RECTOR OF THE BENEFICE OF LANGELEI, 
WITH SPECIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR HOLY TRINITY LEVERSTOCK GREEN
When Lizzie came to us as Vicar in 2012, her installation to the position was one which involved the whole community, and not just Church goers.  At the time I was a regular member of the congregation as well as Chairman of Leverstock Green Village Association and I was asked to formally "Welcome" Lizzie on behalf of the residents of Leverstock Green.  Over the intervening 7 years, Lizzie was also made Rural Dean for Hemel Hempstead, then Acting Rector of the Benefice of Langelei, and earlier this year, Rector of Langelei, with special responsibility for Holy Trinity.  Below is a record of many of the photographs and published items connected with Lizzie in any of her roles based from Holy Trinity.  If you have any additional printed items or digital images which you think relevant, then please contact me.                 Barbara Chapman, May 2019

The following photographs and the first Gallery picture were taken by John Ayling, and the rest of the Gallery pictures by Barbara Chapman before the service started.
