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.

St Paul, Pixmore Way, Letchworth
An unfinished church of 1923-24 designed by A.H. Ryan-Tennyson. The three western nave bays were built at that time, with a further two bays and the transepts added by E.R.D. Selway in 1928-31. The same architect created a north aisle by extending the north transect in 1938-40. It stands on a prominent corner and should have had a tower and fully finished south aisle.
