Churches and cemeteries are among the most historic sites in most towns and villages across the country and the Watford area is no exception.
The current theme for our talented photographers is ‘Historic Hertfordshire’ and this week's selection of pictures include the Essex Chapel at St Mary's Church and the entrance to the cemetery at the former Leavesden Hospital.
Scroll down this page to enjoy these and other historic sites in Watford and a little further afield in the county.
The Watford Observer Camera Club is a Facebook-based group. It is open to all photographers – from those who snap pictures on their phones, to professionals who capture perfect shots with specialist equipment.
Every four weeks, members of the camera club are set a new challenge, a theme is selected and then the work starts for our talented photographers.
Search for Watford Observer Camera Club on Facebook. Ask to join the group and we’ll accept you.
