Hertfordshire Village Walks. Part 7: Watton-at-Stone, Sacombe, High Cross and Wadesmill.
This walk takes Sylvie and I from the Hertfordshire village of Watton-at-Stone out through Woodhall Park and up to Sacombe, where we stop at the church used for scenes in the 2001 film 'Enigma', starring Kate Winslett. Then we go on to Standon Green End, where we visit a monument to an extraordinary event in British history that many people probably haven't even heard of? Then we pass through High Cross and down to Wadesmill before walking back to Watton.

Bell Ringing at Twineham, West Sussex
Twineham, West Sussex, S Peter. 5 (full-circle ring), 6–3–22 (353 kg) in A (893.5 Hz).
Footage taken from a Quarter Peal of Twineham Bob Doubles (24/10/2022):
Twineham is a small village in the Mid Sussex area, with the nearest town being Burgess Hill. The village centre has no pub, post office or shop. There is only the church and the school. St Peter's Parish Church is a Grade I listed building, believed to be the oldest brick built church in Sussex, being built in 1516. The ring of five*, include two medieval John Tonne bells, and two additions of the Treble and 2. The tenor was recast in the same year, the original bell being 1635 Bryan I Eldridge. They are rung from a gallery in the west tower, accessed by a steep metal ladder. They are very loud when rung and they require a bit of pushing when rung fast, but generally they ring well. I used to visit relatively regularly, but I hadn't been for a few years but they were left just as I remember them! We scored a Quarter Peal of Twineham Bob Doubles, conducted by me.

St Mary’s church in Hitchin to St Mary’s church in Pirton Hertfordshire - A walk through time
This is video and pictures of a walk from the market town of Hitchin to the small village of Pirton via the Oughtonhead common nature reserve. 3.5 miles ( 5.5km)
This is the place from which to explore the north-eastern extremities of the Chiltern Hills as they merge into the flatter landscapes of Bedfordshire. You'll want to spend time in Hitchin: with its medieval layout, historic buildings and traditional cobbled streets, the town is something of a gem. Pick up a copy of Speciality Shopping in Hitchin from the Town Centre Initiative Shop at 27 Churchyard to find where to spend your time and money. Hitchin Market is currently open on Tuesdays and Saturdays selling a large selection of the usual market wares. On Fridays, an antique market takes over the stalls.
PICTURESQUE Pirton is situated three miles north-east of Hitchin and is a definitive jewel in Hertfordshire's sparkling crown. With its quiet beauty and rural charm, this delightful village is nothing short of idyllic and is nestled comfortably within the rolling countryside, making it easy to forget it is so close to bustling Hitchin.Pirton has been described by English Heritage as 'one of the most important historic sites in Hertfordshire' and is most noted for its medieval monuments, particularly the motte and bailey castle known as Toot Hill, which means 'look out'.St Mary's Church stands in beautiful surroundings within one of the castle's two baileys and dates back to the 11th century, although it was rebuilt in 1877 retaining the remains of its tower. The Grade I listed church is unusual for its lack of stained glass windows which were mostly shattered by a wartime doodlebug.To the south-east of the castle and the church is a large grassed area called The Bury and this contains the earthwork remains of the now deserted part of the ancient village, with noticeable depressions in the land depicting where streets of the old village once stood and areas of raised ground indicating the position of the houses.Residents are extremely proud of Pirton's history and its no wonder as both the castle and The Bury are nationally important and are designated as Scheduled Ancient Monuments.Pirton is made all the more special by the community spirit which exudes from the residents and which embraces the village making it the home of more than 30 groups and organisations.Steve Smith is chairman of Pirton Sports and Social Club, as well as president of Lea Sports Pirton, Shillington and Gravenhurst Football Club, and says, 'If you were to wander through Pirton on a Sunday afternoon you may get the impression that it is a sleepy little place with not much going on. But scratch the surface and you will find a host of activities.' He explains there are groups ranging from an amateur dramatics society to a school association, and from organisations for the over 60s to toddlers' groups.Steve adds, 'Sport is well represented in the village. The football club now has 10 teams, from Under 8s to adults, as well Saturday sessions for five to 10-year-olds. The cricket club also has a number of teams, including colts' sides, and the tennis club has the use of hard courts with lighting.'The sports and social club acts as much more than just a host for sporting activities. Regular social events also take place, with the club trying to organise a different event on the last Friday of each month. These range from the ever popular quizzes to murder mystery evenings, live bands and casino nights. A firework display is also held each November.'If you plan to visit Pirton for the day, Steve suggests making it a Sunday, when you can spend the morning at the recreation ground watching the cricket colts training or the youngsters involved in football practice. Whileaway your lunchtime supping a pint, having a bite to eat in the social club or in one of Pirton's two pubs, The Fox or the Motte and Bailey, and listening to nothing but birds singing and trees rustling. Then spend the afternoon exploring the rest of the village, with its narrow public footpaths providing a maze of interlinking routes between the main roads and, for the more serious walker who is looking for more of a challenge, the Icknield Way runs through the village.For those not easily spooked, head to Pirton's recreation ground on Halloween and spend the evening trying to work out whodunnit at the murder mystery night.However you decide to spend your time, one thing's for certain, you won't be short of something to do. Steve sums up Pirton in a nutshell when he says, 'It's picturesque but busy', adding, 'It's a lovely place to visit and a lovely place to live.'

St.Albans Abbey Roof Tour
A fantastic free walking tour within the tower of St.Albans Abbey during the Residents First Weekend.
Hitchin June 2011 - Medium.m4v
A market town in Hertfordshire
swcwalks, swcwalk 340, Knebworth to Welwyn Garden City. 5/7/19.
A surprisingly decent 13 miler on this walkers' 'home patch' in Hertfordshire, walked on a very sultry day. Though there is some familiar terrain from SWC 69 (Welwyn Garden City Circular), this is in the reverse direction.
From the village of Knebworth, there's about a mile of relatively quiet road walking before hitting the turf. The famous House of rock concert fame is soon reached, along with its attractive church, prior to a pleasant woodland section. Then, it's on across fields, past the village of Codicote and its small 'heath', before a section near the Mimram chalk stream.
The attractive village of Ayot St Lawrence is soon reached, famous for the sojourn of playwright, George Bernard Shaw. Lunch is had at the 18th Century Palladian church, though it could equally be taken at the 12th Century ruined one, or, the Brocket Arms pub.
The afternoon section involves a pleasant greenway; field edge paths; a crossing of a former rail line and, then, a short section of walking beside the River Lea, from where SWC Walk 69 is mirrored in reverse, crossing the golf course at Brocket Hall, on past Ayot Green and then through Sherrardspark wood to the station.
A pleasant pocket of countryside in the country's most densely-populated 'County', though the sounds and signs of Man's encroachment are never far away. Lots of variety, with good paths and no stiles.
