A former chapel, now extended and concerted into a house. It is actually a little way north of the small hamlet itself and not easily visible from the road.

This is the chapel, now converted into housing, of the former London Orphan Asylum School. It is on the east side of Watford Junction station. It was designed by Henry Dawson and built in 1871. The school left Watford in 1939 and the buildings of the school, which are also now housing, were used as offices. Conversion to housing happened in the 1980s.

Attractively sited at the corner of a green close to the parish church. It was taken out of use in around 2007 and converted, along with the hall, into housing in 2010. The church dates from 1870.

A typical small unadorned Brethren Hall north of the town centre. It closed in 2018 and was used as offices by Herts Building Solutions. By November 2021 it has been replaced by a small housing development.

Built in 1844 but vacated in 1875, when it passed into use by the Dagnall Street Baptist Church. From 1934 -2003 it was used by the St Albans Band for rehearsals, hence the name given to the house into which it was converted in 2012.

Hadham Ford is a southern outlier of Little Hadham. The chapel appears to have been disused for a number of years (Google streetview shows it so in 2009 judging by the state of the now gone notice board). The adjacent hall is now a private house. The chapel was built 1874-75 and designed by John Sulman who went on to be a prominent architect in Australia. An application for conversion to a house was made in January 2017.
