Workhouse Chapel (former), Buntingford
The workhouse is just south of the town centre and dates from 1836-37, with a large extension added in 1872. The chapel was also the dining room and lay at the front of the original building on the south side (the slightly lower roof shown in the image below). The complex closed in 1933 to become municipal offices, it is now housing.

Chapel (former), Workhouse, Cavell Drive, Hockerill, Bishops Stortford
The workhouse, on the eastern side of the town has been redeveloped as housing since 2004 after being the Herts and Essex Hospital which has been rebuilt on part of the site. It was built between 1836 and 1842 according to the town council source which identifies the building below as a chapel or 1856 according to the listing which does not mention a chapel. This building and its twin next door are described in the listing as entrance lodges. The third source does not mention a chapel at all.
