This gatehouse, built in the 15th century, is all that remains of the original castle. It is now the offices of Hertford Town Council.

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 picture 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.

I have photographed this before, many years previously, see [[1541900]], but now it seems somewhat neglected as hardly any water was flowing over the stones.

Dist:0.1km<br/>The waterway system of Hertford is very complex, with at least four named rivers, and numerous side-streams. It will need another one or two visits before I understand it well, but for now - this weir carries water which has come from the upper (non-navigable) reaches of the River Lea.
