The Church of St. Peter and St. Paul dominates the centre of the town. Wadhurst's heritage as a centre of the iron industry is shown by the many iron gravestones in the churchyard. The church is medieval and includes work from the 12th to the 15th centuries; there is a shingled spire and a vaulted porch. There is little of interest inside apart from 30 inscribed iron tomb slabs dating from 1614 to 1790.<ref>Betjeman, J. (ed.) (1968) ''Collins Pocket Guide to English Parish Churches: the South''.

There are also two early 19th-century former [[Strict Baptist]] chapels of similar design in the hamlets of Pell Green ([[Rehoboth Chapel, Pell Green|Rehoboth Chapel]]) and Shover's Green (the [[Shover's Green Baptist Chapel]]).<ref name="Stell">{{cite book|last=Stell|first=Christopher|title=Nonconformist Chapels and Meeting-houses in Eastern England|year=2002|publisher=[[English Heritage]]|location=Swindon|isbn=1-873592-50-7|page=352}}</ref> Both are [[Listed building|listed]] at Grade II.<ref name="IoE296835">{{NHLE|num=1028045|desc=Baptist Chapel, Ticehurst Road, Shover's Green, Wadhurst, Wealden, East Sussex|year=2007|access-date=21 April 2010}}</ref><ref name="IoE296813">{{NHLE|num=1353663|desc= Rehoboth Chapel, Pell's Green ''(sic)'', Wadhurst, Wealden, East Sussex|year=2007|access-date=21 April 2010}}</ref>
