Hertingfordbury
may be visited from Hertford, the station (G.N.R.) being 1½ mile S.W. The
village is pleasantly situated on the river Maran, on the south confines of
Panshanger park. The Church, partly rebuilt by Earl Cowper in 1890-3, was
founded during the fifteenth century. It contains little of architectural
interest, but the monuments are numerous: (1) marble mosaic alter tomb to Sir W.
Harrington, with alabaster effigies of himself and wife and inscription in
rhyme; (2) slab to Thomas Ellis (d. 1608) and Grace his wife (d. 1612); (3)
recumbent effigy in marble to Lady Calvert, wife of Sir George Calvert, Kt., who
died in 1622; (4) to Dr. Jonathan Browne, Dean of Hertford (d. 1643); (5) very
ancient brass inscription beneath chancel arch to two daughters of Robert de
Louthe, and one of similar age to Robert de Louthe and his wife. The Cowper
Chapel, N. side of chancel, contains many monuments to that family, particularly
a fine alto-relievo by Roubeliac to Spencer Cowper (d. 1727), chief Justice of
Chester in 1717.
