The Baptist Church is on Dunstable Street. It has a date-stone which reads Union Chapel Erected 1822 Enlarged 1870. The nearer part of the building, the Sunday School, is dated 1893. © Gerard Charmley (2021). The local Quaker congregation also meet here. TL 0336 3780. Link (Baptist); Link (Quaker).
The Quakers previously met in a Meeting House nearby, at TL 0339 3777. The access to the original building was through an alleyway (with the white-painted gate) at left. The Meeting Room (with the tiled double-roof) now serves as a village hall. Both © Gerard Charmley (2021).

The 1:25,000 O.S. map of 1956 shows a place of worship on Flitwick Road, at TL 0308 3658. A funeral business is now on the site. Their websites History page says "A redundant church in Ampthill was purchased and repurposed". It was seen by Streetview in 2021. I haven't been able to discover what church this was - can you advise?
