Baptist Church, West View, Letchworth

South west of the town centre at the apex of two roads. The church was built in 1935 and a new front was added in the 1970s. The interior of the worship space is a plain hall with no religious symbolism, apart from some posters. It is an independent evangelical church rather than a member of the Baptist Union.

Puckeridge Evangelical Congregational Church (former)

Built in 1834. Disused but not yet converted to any other use (top 3 photos), although permission was granted in May 2013 for residential conversion. In April 2015 it looks as if the conversion work is almost over  (note how the roof line has been raised) – see the lower images. It stands in the main street very near to the Roman Catholic Church.
