Primitive Methodist Church (former), Primrose Lane, Aldenham
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.

St John the Baptist, Aldenham
Just outside Watford but still wholly rural. A large church with a little Norman work, but the chancel is 13th century, the nave and south aisle are 14th century, the north aisle from the 15th. The chancel chapel contains a fine pair of medieval tombs. There have been many restorations starting with John Shaw in 1813-14, Sir Charles Barry in 1840, T. Talbot Bury in 1852 and a large one by A.W. Blomfield in 1881-82. WW2 bombing caused damage that was restored by 1958.
