Dist:0.1km north<br/>Many people think this is the castle, but it is infact the Gatehouse to the castle. It was built in 1461-5 but was much altered in the 18th century. Between 1789 and 1792 the Earl of Hillsborough had a south wing added and the gateway changed into an entrance hall where a porch and door was added, as the pictures shows. The Earl had married into the Cecil family who owned the castle. Apart from this Gatehouse, the only surviving parts of the castle are the motte and some of the flint curtain wall.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>This was once the house of Chauncey, the Herts historian of c1700. The picture shows the early 18th century brick facade, but the rear of the house, which overlooks the river Lea, is 17th century and the core of the house may be late medieval.
