PREFATORY NOTE.

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,

‘DON’TS’ FOR PICNIC PARTIES.

‘DON’TS’ 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. DON’T 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. DON’T disturb the birds in their breeding season. DON

CHAPTER I. WALTHAM ABBEY.

CHAPTER I. WALTHAM ABBEY.

Harold’s Town ! We may well speak of Waltham Holy Cross in this way, for the place virtually owes its foundation to the last representative of the Saxon dynasty, and abounds in associations with the brave, pious, and wise prince whose lordship, like that of his great predecessor, Alfred, had so great an influence for good upon the social and political institutions of our England, and who so nobly and bravely disputed the claim to the throne with the Norman invader on the field of Senlac.

CHAPTER II. A RAMBLE TO EPPING FOREST AND HIGH BEECH.

From Foxe’s house it is a pleasant walk to Epping Forest and High Beech. The way is by Farm Hill (almost opposite Foxe’s house) to Brookside, thence sharp to the right over the bridge, and up the hill by the old windmill for a little more than half a mile, to the hamlet known as Honey lane, where the margin of the fine old forest, the heights of which will have been viewed on the way, opens out. We turn up by the covered well and trough into Honey lane itself. Those who may prefer to ensure a

CHAPTER III. WALTHAM CROSS AND THEOBALDS

Waltham Cross , which is not to be confounded with Waltham Holy Cross, commonly called Waltham Abbey, for whilst the latter is in Essex, the former is in Hertfordshire, and forms part of the parish of Cheshunt. To reach Waltham Cross, the visitor must retrace his steps towards the railway, and passing over this, the historic monument, which stands at the junction with the old Great North Road—is reached by a walk of five minutes’ duration. Waltham Cross was one of the several similar monuments

CHAPTER IV. CHESHUNT AND ITS SURROUNDINGS.

Old Cheshunt village is a little less than a mile north of Theobalds by the road that turns up the hill, opposite Temple Bar, to Bury Green, thence leaving the cemetery on the left. A pleasant old-fashioned inn, where the magisterial business was dispensed for many years, and a small cluster of houses form the old village to-day, with Cheshunt College, a foundation by Selina Countess of Huntingdon, for the training of Nonconformist ministers, hard by, and the fine old parish church reposing in

Do you use Automatic Gas or Oil Lamps?

N.B.—There were 142 Explosions by Oil Lamps in London alone last year, involving loss of life. An OIL LAMP burns ONE PENNYWORTH OF PARAFFIN OIL in 8 hours, and gives a light equal to only 16 Candles. It is much dearer than a GEM GAS BURNER, which makes ONE PENNYWORTH OF AUTOMATIC GAS last about 12 hours, and gives a light equal to 30 Candles. In fact a Gem Burner is nearly equal to 4 Oil Lamps. That is to say, a Gem Burner will give you about as much light for a Farthing as an Oil Lamp will g
