St Hugh, Cockernhoe
Overlooking the large green in this village just east of Luton. This is an iron church built in 1904. One side has been updated with uPVC windows but the rest retains wooden windows. Views in are not really possible as the windows have marbled glass. It is only used for occasional public services such as at Easter and Christmas and by the CoE village school. There is no signboard outside but the churchyard is well tended, with quite a number of small iron grave markers from the 1920s to 1950s. It forms part of the parish of St Francis, Luton rather than a Hertfordshire parish.

St Mark, Redhall Lane, Chandler’s Cross (former)
A tin tabernacle erected in 1903 and in use until 1978 as a Mission church. First for All Saints, Croxley Green and then from 1964 Chipperfield parish. It closed in 1978 and was sold into private hands in 1981 and is now a large shed in the front garden of a house. It is locally listed by Three Rivers Council. It could have been yours (with a 5 bed house) for offers in excess of £1 million (September 2014). I Passed by in July 2016 and it has had a facelift.
