Methodist Church, Abbots Langley

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.

St Lawrence, Abbots Langley

A short way north of Watford on the road to Hemel Hempstead is St Lawrence’s Church.  The Nave arcades are Norman, much of the rest is 14th century. However there was a serious fire in 1969 so there has been much restoration in recent years.
