St Andrews Church
The other churches date from 12th Century. The original parish church was St James which is located just outside the village and is now maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust. It is notable for its 15th century timbered porch (photo below) and inside are unusually high Georgian box pews, a three-decker pulpit, texts, hatchments, old glass and monuments.

At the other end of the village is St Marys in the parish of St Margarets which is still used for worship every Sunday. It is a very interesting church with what is believed to be the only remaining William Allen barrel organ in working order. There are also 52 heads of people and animals carved beside each window.

Finally in nearby Great Amwell is St John the Baptist, which enjoys a more formal style of worship.
