Tharbes End is 11/2 mile N.W. from Sawbridgeworth.

THEOBALD’S PARK. (See Waltham Cross.)

THERFIELD (3 miles S.E. from Ashwell Station, G.N.R.) was, according to Dugdale’s Monasticon Anglicanum, given to the church of Ramsey by Etheric, Bishop of Sherbourne, about 980, and Chauncy “guesses” that an abbot of Ramsey built Therfield church.  The present church is a modern Dec. structure, a little W. from the centre of the scattered village.  The Icknield Way skirts the parish on the N. and many Roman relics have been discovered in the neighbourhood.  There are also several tumuli in the parish, which lies on high, chalky soil.

THORLEY (2 miles S.W. from Bishop’s Stortford) can show a good Norman doorway on the S. side of the little church; note the dog-tooth moulding and twisted nook-shafts.  The remainder of the building is largely E.E.; there is a piscina in the chancel and—­at the W. entrance—­a niche for a holy water basin.  The font, as at Bishop’s Stortford, was a modern discovery.  Thorley Wash and Thorley Street are between the church and the G.E.R.

THROCKING (2 miles N.W. from Buntingford Station, G.E.R.) stands on a hill.  The church is E.E. and Dec., except the upper part of the tower, of brick, added in 1660.  The monuments include one by Nollekens and one by Rysbrack, to members of the Elwes family, of whose manor house there are still some traces adjacent to the Hall Farm.  The walk N.W. to Baldock, by way of Julians Park (7 to 8 miles), leads across open, breezy country.

THUNDRIDGE and WADE’S MILL are on the Old North Road, about 2 miles N. from Ware.  The river Rib crosses the road at Wade’s Mill.  The present parish church, E.E. in style, was built about seventy years ago, close to the bridge over the Rib; the tower of the old church; “Little St. Mary’s,” with a Norman arch stands in the lower meadows 1/2 mile E. On the W. side of the Old North Road, close to Wade’s Mill, a low obelisk marks the spot where Thomas Clarkson resolved to give his life to the cause of the abolition of slavery.

Titmore Green is 11/2 mile N.W. from Stevenage Station, G.N.R.

Tittenhanger. (See London Colney.)

Todd’s Green adjoins Titmore Green.

Tonwell, on the main road from Ware or Stevenage, is a hamlet near the river Rib.  It has a modern chapel-of-ease.  Ware is 21/2 miles S.E.

TOTTERIDGE, on the Middlesex border, is 1 mile W. from the Station (G.N.R.).  Richard Baxter lived here for a short time.  The neighbourhood is well wooded and very pleasing to the eye.  The church, on the hill-top, dates only from 1790; but the site was occupied by an earlier structure.  The memorials are of no historic interest; but near the enormous yew tree in the churchyard stands the tomb of the first Lord Cottenham (d. 1851).  Near by, too, lies Sir Lucas Pepys, physician to George III. (d. 1830). Totteridge Park, W. from the village, was the residence of Baron Bunsen, and of the above-mentioned Lord Cottenham; the large, plain structure in which they lived, recently in part rebuilt, was erected about a century ago, taking the place of the fine old manor house, for some generations the home of the Lee family.  At Copped Hall, near the church, the late Cardinal Manning was born in 1808.
