Hertford Heritage Trail Brought to you by Introduction Hertford is steeped in history, from its once royal castle set in elegant, peaceful riverside gardens, to the architectural mix of six centuries in St. Andrew Street. The oldest purpose-built quaker meeting house survives in Railway Street, a classic Georgian Shire Hall overlooks Fore Street's rare pargeting and at Bluecoats, once a Christ's Hospital School, an ancient water pump still graces the courtyard. Nearby, Hertford East Station is one of W.N. Ashbee's finest creations. Just some of the delights our county town has to offer. This heritage trail has been created jointly by Hertford Town Council, who funded the project, Hertford and Ware Local History Group, who provided the plaque texts, and Hertford Civic Society, whose volunteers undertook all the work associated with installation of the blue plaques. 1 2 3 Hertford Castle 25 Castle Street 12 – 14 Parliament Castle Street Square 4 5 6 Green Dragon Vaults 1 Fore Street War Memorial The Green Dragon Inn Parliament Square The Wash 7 8 9 Bayley Hall Shire Hall Egyptian House Bell Lane Fore Street 42 Fore Street 10 11 12 Samuel Stone Corn Exchange The Former Post 76 – 78 Fore Street 39 Fore Street Office 84 – 86 Fore Street 13 14 15 Master’s House The Former Christ’s Hospital 88 – 96 Fore Street Ram Inn 112 Fore Street 16 17 18 Hertford East The Priory Quaker Meeting Station St. John’s Church House Mill Road St. John’s Street 50 Railway Street 19 20 21 Hertford Museum Lombard House Old Cross Library 18 Bull Plain Bull Plain Old Cross 22 23 24 McMullen & Sons Ltd Hartham Chapel Prince Albert Hartham Lane Hartham Lane Cottages Cowbridge 25 26 27 W.E.

  • Social Changes at Hertford Cricket Club
    Social changes at Hertford Cricket Club All clubs are the product of their members, past and present. Hertford Cricket Club is no exception. But who were the members? What did they do for a job? Where did they live? This note tries to shed light on these aspects of the club's history and also show how the composition of the club has changed over the years. Hertford's history is bound up with the history of the game in general. The origins of cricket are obscure. There is a report of something akin to cricket being played at Guildford in the middle of the 16th century on land also used for bear baiting. The game steadily evolved over the next century. By the 18th century it is certain that games were being played regularly between the famous public schools and also between colleges at Oxford and Cambridge albeit in a fairly casual manner. The modern game developed between 1770 and 1780 notably in the southern counties of Hampshire, Kent and Surrey. The village of Hambledon in Hampshire was 'the nursery of the best players and the down of Broad Halfpenny the area of their glory'. At this time much of the support for the game came from the landed gentry either by providing grounds to play on or by supporting teams. Two reasons for this seem to have been (a) it was fashionable to support a cricket team in the same manner that it had been fashionable to build a large house, develop extensive gardens or import exotic foreign plants and (b) there were endless possibilities for gambling on the outcome of the game.

  • Urban Nature Conservation Study
    DACORUM BOROUGH COUNCIL URBAN NATURE CONSERVATION STUDY Hertfordshire Biological Records Centre March 2006 DACORUM BOROUGH COUNCIL URBAN NATURE CONSERVATION STUDY Hertfordshire Biological Records Centre March 2006 SUMMARY Purpose of study The environment is one of the four main drivers of sustainable development, and in this context biodiversity needs to be fully integrated into planning policy and delivery. As part of the new planning system known as the Local Development Framework, information on urban wildlife is fundamental given the pressure on land resources in and around our towns. The aims of the study are: ‘To provide a well reasoned and coherent strategy for the protection and enhancement of key wildlife areas and network of spaces / natural corridors within the towns and large villages of Dacorum’. The Dacorum Urban Nature Conservation Study considers the wildlife resources within the six major settlements in Dacorum, namely Berkhamsted, Bovingdon, Hemel Hempstead, Kings Langley, Markyate and Tring. They were mapped using existing habitat information, additional sites identified from aerial photo interpretation and local knowledge. The areas adjacent to each settlement – up to a distance of 1km – were also mapped in a similar fashion to place the urban areas within the context of their surrounding environments. This process identified the most important sites already known such as Sites of Special Scientific Interest, local sites meeting minimum standards known as ‘Wildlife Sites’, and other sites or features of more local significance within the urban areas known collectively as ‘Wildspace’. These incorporated Hertfordshire Biological Record Centre’s ‘Ecology Sites’ where appropriate, old boundary features such as hedgerows and tree lines, as well as significant garden areas or open spaces which may survive.

  • Hertford Town Council Annual Report 2014/15
    ANNUAL REPORT 2014/15 Review of Civic Year 2014/15 It has been an honour and a privilege to serve as Mayor of Hertford for 2014/2015. As always it has been a busy year with a number of highlights. I have had the wonderful opportunity to experience some of Hertford’s finest cultural institutions at their best: Hertford Dramatic & Operatic Society’s performances and running of Hertford Theatre Week, Hertford Symphony Orchestra’s diverse programme throughout the year, Hertford Choral concerts, wonderful displays of art from Hertford Art Society and Courtyard Arts, the second Hertford Book Festival. Hertford Museum has provided a wonderful mixture of events and exhibitions from Open Night at the Museum to Wallace Exhibitions touring the country. Cllr Miss Chantal Geall Mayor of Hertford 2014 /2015 This year has also been a year of firsts in Hertford. We have seen the first Hertford Passion Play performed at St Andrews Church. We’ve also seen the start of a new weekly event in Hertford: the Panshanger Park Run. The run which is volunteer led, celebrated its 100th event in May with 272 runners doing the 5k run through the park, with lots of children taking part and a few dogs! Another first is that Hertford Football Club formed a Ladies Football team which won their league in their first season. The club has also formed a new U21 team. We were honoured to welcome the Royal Anglian Regiment to exercise their freedom of our town in July 2014. The troops marching through the streets of Hertford provided a great spectacle and they were warmly welcomed by residents before being entertained in the Hertford Castle grounds with a wonderful marquee provided by Fergus McMullen our High Sheriff for the year.

JOHN COTTON'S MIDDLE WAY A THESIS presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History The University of Mississippi by GARY A. ROWLAND August 2011 Copyright Gary A. Rowland 2011 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Historians are divided concerning the ecclesiological thought of seventeenth-century minister John Cotton. Some argue that he supported a church structure based on suppression of lay rights in favor of the clergy, strengthening of synods above the authority of congregations, and increasingly narrow church membership requirements. By contrast, others arrive at virtually opposite conclusions. This thesis evaluates Cotton's correspondence and pamphlets through the lense of moderation to trace the evolution of Cotton's thought on these ecclesiological issues during his ministry in England and Massachusetts. Moderation is discussed in terms of compromise and the abatement of severity in the context of ecclesiastical toleration, the balance between lay and clerical power, and the extent of congregational and synodal authority.
