PREFATORY NOTE.
This little book is intended for the ordinary individual rather than the earnest student or the ardent antiquary. As I have attempted to embellish the dry bones of history and to present the undoubted beauties and charms of the corner of England that lies upon the Herts and Essex border in a manner likely to interest the former, my effort will possibly appear to the latter to have several shortcomings.
That part of the book dealing with Cheshunt has presented some difficulty. One day, perhaps, some industrious historian will prepare a really good history of the ancient parish of Cheshunt, and utilise to the best purpose the wealth of material that lies hidden away in the parish chests.
To the Rev. J. H. Stamp, I am indebted for reading the proofs and for some valuable information, as well as for his kind permission to use the chronological data prepared by him. To Mr. H. Collingwood Lee my thanks are also due for his kind assistance.

DONTS FOR PICNIC PARTIES.
The Council of the Selborne Society urgently requests visitors to treat the country they are visiting with the reverence due to natural beauty.
DONT gather such quantities of wild flowers and ferns that before the day is over you are obliged to throw them away on the roadside. By such gathering you injure the flora of the district, and you take away pleasures from many people who like to see flowers and ferns growing in their native haunts.
DONT disturb the birds in their breeding season.
DONT litter the places visited with waste papers or torn letters.
DONT leave empty bottles and other dbris of your picnic to vulgarise the spots, the scenery of which you have been enjoying.
