Some way east of the village at Four Want Ways near the hamlet of Round Bush and almost on its own. It was built in 1887, closed in 1965 and was used as a Scout Hall before conversion to a house in 1983.

A short way off the High Street stand this originally Methodist church of 1937-38. It became a united church in 1980 when the United Reformed Church congregation left their church on Watling Street. That building is now the Radlett Reform Synagogue.

The former inter-denominational chapel of the former Shenley Mental Hospital that closed in 1998. Its huge site is now covered by modern housing and a pleasant park at whose north edge sits this large building of 1938. The architects were W.T. Curtis and D. Robertson. It is now used as a community hall.

Right in the middle of the village. The building dates from 1882, although there had been Methodist meetings since 1878, and was then clearly gothic, however in 1962 its layout was reversed and the exterior appearance simplified and rendered.

A Grace Baptist church whose building dates from 1835 with changes made in 1905-07 and 1936. The lower pictures reflect its recent change of name.
