In the centre of the village and distinctly unfinished. It was built 1877-78. The west end was extended and converted to provide kitchen facilities in 2000. As with several churches in the area Carpenter and Ingelow submitted plans and I assume were the architects despite their being rejected for an ICBS grant.

Hidden away at the junction of two rather muddy footpaths just west of Marlin Chapel Farm 3km west of Berkhamsted. All that remains are the four corners of the chapel covered in ivy and surrounded by nettles. It is thought to have been built in the 13th century but was never parochial.
