Churches
Hyde Heath has 2 churches. The Baptists were active in Hyde Heath since the 1800s. A church was established which was a branch of Amersham and then became a branch of Chesham Lower Baptist church (now Trinity). The chapel is now a house called "The Olde Chapel" on the Common. It had its own burial ground. In 1932 they built the current chapel in Bray's Lane called "Union Chapel" which was meant to be a Free church.
There was a Mission Room of Little Missenden Church in Hyde Heath in the 1880s and 1890s. After Hyde Heath School was built the Parish of Chesham held services in the school. They then built a Mission Room in 1909. This is now called St Andrew's Church and is part of Little Missenden parish.
Hyde Heath is located very close to the proposed route of High Speed 2 (HS2) rail link with many villagers active in the campaign against the link.
