St Nicholas, Elstree

A thorough rebuilding of 1853 by P.C Hardwick, nothing from the old church is visible outside. It sits on top of a hill so the spire is visible from miles around.

St Paul, Cheshunt (Roman Catholic)

Down a dead end un-surfaced road, it is dated 1896 but looks more like a hall than a church, which is exactly what it was as it was built as a hall for the Anglican parish church and only acquired by the Roman Catholic church in 1998.
