Dist:0.1km<br/>By 1842 when little space remained for further burials in St Peter's churchyard, the Countess of Bridgewater gave a piece of land of approximately an acre to the parish for a new burial ground between the Old Rectory and the present Three Close Lane. Allowance was made for further expansion and in 1921 the south west wall was demolished and the adjoining piece of ground was consecrated. By the late 1940s much of this land had been used and a new civic cemetery was opened at Kingshill. The cemetery lies between Rectory Lane and Three Close Lane.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This memorial is thought to represent members of the Incent Family, the wife being a Torrington before her marriage. As the inscription has disappeared however, this is conjectural. John Incent was Dean of St.Paul's Cathedral and founded Berkhamsted Collegiate School in 1541. The figures represented here however are far older, dating from the C14th century at the latest I'd guess. For another view of the tomb see [[[780320]]]

Dist:0.3km<br/>This unusual screen behind the altar in St. Peter's, Berkhamsted dates in part I believe from the C15th though the figures are far more recent, probably Victorian. This screen fills the eastern arch of the tower separating the nave from the chancel and obscuring the East Window.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Affectionately known as the Riser by locals, the Rising Sun is a Victorian canalside pub built in the 1880s and largely unchanged since. It's situated overlooking Lock No. 55 on the Grand Union Canal, seen in the foreground, and is only accessible by foot from along the canal or down a gravel driveway off George Street.
