St Paul, Chipperfield
A large village around a common, on one corner of which sits the church. It was designed by Thomas Talbot Bury and built in 1837, with the chancel rebuilt and extended in 1889. The west window glass is by John Hayward dating from 1966. There is also glass by Goddard and Gibbs from the 1990s.

St Lawrence, Bovingdon
Effectively a church of 1845 by Thomas Talbot Bury in a convincing Hertfordshire style. It sits in a huge churchyard in one of the more rural spots in this sprawling suburban village.

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.
