St John the Baptist, Aldenham's parish church, goes back to the 12th century; its west tower is early 13th century and has puddingstone in its walls.
Old Aldenham around Church Lane
The village sits on well-wooded high ground in the north-west of a big parish (the Victoria County History gives the parish 6,033 acres). The VCH found its houses built of brick with slate or tile roofs. It also noted, near the church, a block of tall white cottages that had been the parish poor-house until the Poor Law of 1834; it then became the Red Lion Inn, and in 1846 it was turned back into cottages, known as Lion Cottages. The village pound was a little west of the church, on the south side of the road to Bushey.
Church Farm House is a timber-framed house of the 17th century or earlier, cased and extended in red brick, and given a front range in the early 18th century. The postcodes on this page sit on or beside Church Lane, Church Alley, Red Lion Close, Church Farm Way and Wall Hall Drive, the streets round the church.

For anyone booking for themselves or for a parent, the visit runs the same way each time. The price is fixed on the phone before the day. The technician is insured and DBS-checked. Dust sheets go down, the racks and trays come out and are soaked and cleaned separately, and the inside of the oven is degreased by hand. At the end the oven is put back together and heated, and you look inside before we pack up; if a corner is not right, we put it right before we leave.

Aldenham School and Aldenham Reservoir are elsewhere
Two places that share the name are a drive away from the village. Aldenham School, founded in 1597 by Richard Platt, a master of the Brewers' Company, has an Elstree postal address (WD6) and stands about 2 km south-east of the church, beyond Letchmore Heath, though it is still in Aldenham parish. Aldenham Reservoir (the Victoria County History's Elstree Reservoir) was made for the Grand Junction Canal Company on part of Aldenham Common under an Act of 1793; it now lies in Elstree and Borehamwood parish, about a mile west of Elstree village.
Aldenham oven cleaning questions
Can I book a clean for my mother, who lives in the village?
Yes. Ring with her address and the kind of cooker she has, and the price is fixed on that call. She can check the oven, lit, before we leave.
What needs doing before you arrive?
The oven should be cool, there should be a working socket, and the team needs somewhere to park. The guide to preparing for an oven clean has the rest.
Is the oven cleaned in the kitchen?
Yes, normally where it stands, on dust sheets. The racks and trays come out and are soaked and cleaned separately, and the inside of the oven is degreased by hand.
What customers tell us
Very satisfied with the service. They were slightly late at first but I got a call from customer service to let me know, and it was all fine. The oven man, as he called himself, arrived and worked very hard for a couple of hours. My oven now looks like it has never been used.
Nice hardworking lads that always do a good job. We used them for our old flat when moving out and for the new one now, both jobs were done very professionally. My wife is very impressed with the results and would recommend them to friends and family.
Once again a great job guys, I will see you in a couple of months.
