Brethren’s Meeting Room, Bosanquet Road/Salisbury Road, Rye Park, Hoddesdon, now demolished

Just down the road from the Rye Park Riverside Elim church, a windowless modern hall. The site is subject to a planning application, so far refused for a housing development (Dec 2018). It has now been replaced (November 2022) by housing.

St Cuthbert, Rye Park

In the Rye Park district of Hoddesdon. The church by Dudley Newman dates from 1908, with an eastern extension by William Turney in 1962. The north wall shows clear signs of original plans for a larger building, as does the strangely bulky truncated tower. The striking east window was designed by Margaret Traherne in 1996.
