Religion
Today there are three Anglican churches:- St Mary's Hawridge; St Laurence, Cholesbury and St Leonards which are part of the Diocese of Oxford. There was a fourth church located adjacent to the Green at Buckland Common, which was deconsecrated in 1939 having fallen into disrepair. Nearby, there was also a Strict Baptist chapel which continued to serve the community until the end of the 1970s. In Hawridge a mission hall ran until the 1980s.
