St Joseph (Former), Cromer (now Chapel House)

Hidden away behind Cromer Cottage on White Hill in this small hamlet of Ardeley. It was built in 1890 and closed in 1957. The drive up to the house is also an (unsignposted) public footpath. It is difficult to see this building as a former chapel as it has been altered so much.

Primitive Methodist (former), Trowley Bottom, Flamstead

Built in 1845 and out of use in 1960 when the congregation moved to The Methodist chapel in Flamstead. It was converted to a house and only bears a passing resemblance to its former role. The plaque’s date on the gable of the house does not agree with any dates given in the link below

Wesleyan Chapel (former), Ickleford

There is a brief listing in English Heritages’s inventory which lists a chapel of 1850 in Ickleford. I think this is it as it is along a footpath called Chapel Walk west of the Arlesey Road at the correct grid reference. It closed in 1978 and was sold in 1979 and is now somewhat altered as housing.

Old Meeting House (former), Lower Dagnall Street, St Albans

Built in 1697-98 for Presbyterians and used by a variety of groups subsequently. It fell out of religious use in 1895 and now, much altered and extended, is used as offices and flats.
