An Independent Chapel (later Congregational) is
labelled on old O.S. maps at TL 8009 4168. It pre-dates the earliest map
available to me (1876), and seems to have been closed before 1957. The site of
the chapel and adjoining burial ground, which has been redeveloped for housing,
can be seen in this 2009
Streetview. I've been unable to find a photo, or any substantial
information, about this chapel.

Grade I listed. The 25" O.S. map of 1897
marks a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel at TL 4694 2985.
The chapel pre-dates a map of 1876-7, and the latest map to show it which I can
find is dated 1960. A map of 1978 shows a Hall on the same site,
and it can be seen here on a
Streetview of 2009. It seems to have roughly the same footprint, so perhaps all
or part of the chapel survives, in what is now the village hall.

Priory (Benedictine Nunnery) to the west of the
village at TL 77790 35560 - grid ref. from this

Circa TL 84965 22670. Old Chapel on Church Street
was Baptist (as shown on map of 1875), and had been opened in 1855. It was
preceded by an earlier chapel of 1829, also on Church Street, so perhaps on the
same site. Prior to this, the congregation, formed at least as early as 1745,
met in private houses. TL 8514 2271. The Catholic
Church of St. Bernard of Clairvaux on Stoneham Street.

Waltham Abbey, the
Parish Church of Waltham Holy Cross. Not the Abbey, as this has always been the
parish church. The adjacent abbey was a victim of Henry VIII, but the parish
church was unmolested. Originally a church was dedicated here in 1060 by the
later King Harold. The core of present church has more or less the same
footprint. Two further views -
1, 2,
and an interior view, all ©
Christopher Skottowe (1964).
Christopher Skottowe has an old album
containing (among other things) a sketch of a church, which has previously been in the Unknown section. Though there's no indication of the date of the sketch, it is
probably from late Victorian times. Simon Davies has identified it as Waltham Abbey in Essex, before Victorian
alterations increased the height of the tower.
Two additional views - 1,
2,
interior view, the
altar, and a fine
monument. King Harold is allegedly
buried here - a stone marks the site.
