Administrative / biographical background:

The Harwood's Farm Estate in Watford was sold for development at the turn of the nineteenth century. The Primitive Methodists purchased two cottages 113 and 115 Harwoods Road on this estate and regular services were held at number 115 from April 1901. Adjacent land was purchased for building and the road re-named Whippendell. The foundation stone of the new chapel was laid in March 1903 and the building opened in June of the same year. The chapel was wholly re-built in 1937 and the congregation amalgamated with the older Queen's Road society (see NM7J). The cottages in Whippendell Road were finally sold in 1957. This church was again extensively rebuilt in 1966 when the former Wesleyan church in Queen's Road, Watford was closed and the congregations united (see NM7A). From this date the church was renamed Trinity.
