This page is under construction and is subject to addition, editing and change.
Dissent in Hertfordshire has a long history and discovering where buildings were and if they are still there is a complicated matter.
This page is an attempt to assimilate a variety of published secondary sources to give a listing of buildings both in and out of use and lost. The former two categories have a page on this site, the third will only be listed here.
The sources used are:
Burg, Judith ed. Religion in Hertfordshire 1847-1851. Hertfordshire Record Society, 1995. This reproduces the results of two important surveys:
Upton, William. Statistics of the Religious Condition of the County of Hertford, collected for the Hertford Union [1847 and 1848] (US in the chart below)
Office of the Registrar General. Census of Great Britain 1851. Religous Worship in England and wales. Report and Tables, HMSO, 1851. (EC in chart below)
Ruston, Alan. Non-conformity in Hertfordshire: A guide to sources for local and family historians; Special Publication no. 6. Hertfordshire Family History Society, 2005 (reprinted with additions 2011) Sources for research, selected lists from directories and list of published guides and sources.
Urwick, William. Memorials of nonconformity in Herts. Hazel, Watson and Viney, 1884. This lists and discusses all non-conformists meeting licensed according to the Dissenters’ Act 1689. Many of these were private houses, farm buildings etc and these are outside the scope of this site. (U in the chart below)
I have spent some time at Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies looking through their information files and directories.
This list will doubtless contain errors and duplications and will continue to be updated. Together with the locking guide and lost churches sections for Anglican, Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches there should be a complete list of Christian church buildings in Hertfordshire

Anstey | Barkway Road | Primitive Methodist | US | Lost | The Primitive Methodist chapel at Anstey was a wooden building set back from the road. By the date of the photograph in 1997 it was derelict and part demolished. When it was built is uncertain, but there is map evidence; it is marked as “Methodist Chapel (Primitive)” on the 1876 and 1898 OS maps. It had closed by 1921. | |||||

Ashwell | Primitive Methodist | U | Lost | Methodist services were being held in Ashwell at least from 1799. The house of Francis Gentle at Ashwell was certified in February We have little information about the chapel in West End, but it wouldn’t exist before 1820 and it does not show on the 1841 Tithe map, but was built before 1861. From the above it would not have been used as a chapel after 1932.1824 as a place of worship for Wesleyan Methodists. A church was erected in 1833 and rebuilt in 1880. The last services were held in September 1977 and the building demolished in 1980 for housing development In 1970 this society was transferred from the Biggleswade circuit to the newly formed Hitchin and Letchworth circuit [see NM4].By 1890 there was also a small Primitive Methodist chapel in the village attached to the Hitchin Primitive Methodist Station. It was closed in 1903 | ||||||

Ashwell | Wesleyan | US | 1833 | House | The new Wesleyan chapel was built in the High Street in the 1880’s. Membership included a school mistress, who was the organist, several wheelwrights, a butcher, a baker and a number of working class people. The minister was responsible for a circuit of several chapels. Other dedicated men in the area, known as local preachers, conducted morning and evening services at their own or other chapels in the circuit. The singing at the services was loud and went with a swing, compared to the parish church where the singing was slow and deliberate. After 1945 church attendances were in decline, and with the building ageing and the cost of repairs rising it became more difficult to maintain the chapel. In 1977 the membership decided to amalgamate with the Ashwell United Reformed Church, so in 1979 the chapel was sold, pulled down and houses built on the site. Up the footpath, twitch well, from the High Street to Silver Street you can see part of the chapel wall and some of the commerative stones. | |||||
Ashwell | Silver Street | Friends Meeting House | Lost | called back street burnt down 1850. Burial ground still there.

Babbs Green | Wesleyan Methodist | House | Methodist chapel next door, Wesleyan House that we understand was built in 1890. The property has a date stone of 1891 and up to the early 60’s was still used for church purposes as well as the chapel itself. It wasn’t until 1968 that both properties were sold to the same family and owned independently after refurbishment and modernisation. Our client has lived in the property since the refurbishment in 1968. | |||||||

Royston | New meeting | Independents | U | EC | There had been a meeting of Protestant dissenters in Royston since 1700. In 1706 the Old Meeting House was erected in the Middle Row in Kneesworth Street. In 1790 a dispute arose over doctrine and a group withdrew from the Old Meeting, to form a new Meeting. In 1791 a New Meeting house was built on another site in Kneesworth Street. The two Meetings continued to worship side-by-side until 1841, when a new building was erected for the Old Meeting in John Street and opened in 1843. The former building was converted into private houses. The two Meetings combined in May 1922 to form the Royston Congregational Church, which continued to meet in the New Meeting House in Kneesworth Street. The buildings in John Street were sold. In 1972, Royston Congregational Church, became Royston United Reformed Church, which closed c1982. The [school] buildings in Kneesworth Street are now used as a museum. | |||||

Can I get inside?
Look here to see if there is a chance of getting into a church (Church of England, Roman Catholic & Orthodox).
Open indicates generally open during at least 10:00-1500 Mon-Fri.
Locked indicates normally locked, where there is advertised limited opening, this is listed under notes.
n/a indicates a church now in private hands and so no access should be assumed.
However, this is a guide (updated 19 Nov 2021) and based on personal observation and must not be taken as definitive. It does not take into account altered opening or closing due to Covid 19.
If a church is locked, Saturday morning can be a good time to try as it is often church cleaning time.
I am happy to receive comments or amendments.
