HAILEYBURY COLLEGE (2 miles S.E. from Hertford) was founded at Hertford in 1805 as the training college of the East India Company.  It is now one of our most famous public schools.  The house, conspicuous from the S.E., stands on high ground, and commands beautiful views over the valley of the Lea, and, looking S.E., the neighbourhood of Epping Forest.  Note (1) the noble chestnut avenue towards the W. entrance; (2) the great size of the quadrangle; (3) the beautifully decorated chapel (by A. W. Blomfield), surmounted by a lofty dome; (4) the library, containing some good portraits of former masters, one of which, Canon Bradby, was painted by Herkomer.

Hall’s Green (4 miles N.E. from Stevenage) is on the hillside, 1 mile S.E. from Weston church.  A little farther S. note the fine view over Cromer and Cottered, with windmill to the left.

Hammond Street is between Cheshunt Common and Flamstead End.  The nearest Station is Cheshunt, G.E.R., 21/2 miles S.E.

Hammond’s End, on the outskirts of Rothamstead Park, is in the centre of the pleasant varied scenery between the M.R. and the St. Albans-Dunstable road.  The nearest station is Redbourn, 11/4 mile S.W.

Handside (Upper and Lower) is the name of two hamlets in Lemsford parish, both near Brocket Hall Park.  Hatfield (about 3 miles S.) is the nearest station, G.N.R.

HARE STREET.—­There are two places in the county bearing this name:  (1) a small hamlet partly in Ardeley and partly in Cottered parish; (2) a large village on the Cambridge Road, 2 miles E. from Buntingford.  The village has several quaint old cottages, and is by no means unpicturesque; but it contains little of historic importance.  It affords, however, a good centre from which to visit several old and interesting churches (described elsewhere in these pages); Layston, Wyddial, Anstey, and Great and Little Hormead being all within a short walk.

Harmer Green (1/2 mile N.E. from Welwyn Station) is a small hamlet N. from the Maran Valley.

HARPENDEN is well worth a visit and may be easily reached from St. Pancras (24 miles), or from King’s Cross by changing at Hatfield.  Visitors wishing to inspect the church, or to ramble through the large village, beautifully situated at the N. end of Harpenden Common, should be careful not to choose the day of the annual races, the Friday before Epsom week.  The church was rebuilt (except the tower) in 1862, in E. Dec. style; prior to 1859 the old structure had been a chapel-of-ease to Wheathampstead (3 miles E.).  It probably dated from say 1140 (temp. Stephen) and was originally cruciform and late Norman.  The first tower is believed to have been destroyed by fire about 1470, after which the present W. tower was built.  Many alterations were made during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; the original Norman clerestory, in particular, being superseded by one of Low Perp.  Note (1) Norman font; (2)
