  • Brent Pelham + Meesden
    The Hundred Parishes An introduction to BRENT PELHAM & MEESDEN Location: 5 miles east of Buntingford. Ordnance Survey grid square: TL4330. Postcode: SG9 0HW. Access: B1038. Bus: Weekly shopping services only: 28 (Monday) to Buntingford; 27 (Wednesday) to Royston; and 20 (Friday) to Bishop’s Stortford. County: Hertfordshire. District: East Herts. Population: 295 in 2011. The Domesday Book of 1086 refers to just one Pelham, but by 1300 there were three adjacent places on Hertfordshire’s border with Essex: Brent Pelham in the north, Furneux Pelham in the south and Stocking Pelham in between. The name Pelham may originally have meant the homestead of a man called Peola, whilst Brent Pelham is apparently a corruption of the name Burnt Pelham which this settlement acquired after most of it was destroyed by a fire in the 12th century. Brent Pelham merged some years ago with the adjacent parish of Meesden to form a single administrative parish, each electing half of the members of the joint council. Each of the three Pelhams has a parish church dedicated to St Mary – and so too does Meesden. This is the oldest place of worship, dating from the 12th century. It is rather isolated up a tree-lined path. Its unusual brick porch was added around 1530 AD. Inside, a mosaic tiled floor in front of the altar is an exceptional survival from the early part of the 14th century. Brent Pelham’s parish church, pictured below, dates from the 14th century. One monument is particularly noteworthy - built into a wall is the tomb of Piers Shonks, the dragon slayer.
