St. Mary’s, Hertingfordbury

St. Mary’s, Hertingfordbury

St. Mary’s sit above the village of Hertingfordbury. Built for the Earl of Cowper in 1849-50 it contains much of interest. This is a church, which I feel if it was anywhere else other than Hertfordshire, would receive a lot of interest! It is a fine place none the less.

It is a pity that I found no church guide but there are some postcards on sale and 30 people had signed the visitors book this year. The usual, ‘Saints and Pilgrims’ book is displayed and there is a prayer tree to use. There are lots of memorials here and a guide to these would add much to the visitor experience. This is a church well worth having a look at. The website is at http://www.hertingfordburystmary.org.uk and this does give clear visitor information.
