Abbots Langley's Manor House stood opposite Kitters Green, at the entrance to the village. The house overlooked the cricket field but faced the road. The structure that survived into the twentieth century was a seventeenth century house with three gables and a tall chimney. It had been built over the moated site of an earlier structure and internally it showed some surviving traces from the Elizabethan and Jacobean ages. From 1641, until its demolition in 1953, Abbots Langley's Manor House was owned by two principal university colleges: Sidney Sussex, Cambridge and Trinity College, Oxford. ...
