_Cockernhoe Green_ is 21/2 miles S.W. from Offley, and 21/2 miles N.E. from Luton Station (Beds). _Cockhampstead_ (2 miles N.E. from Braughing Station, G.E.R.) is near Albury Hall. CODICOTE (3 miles N.W. from Welwyn Station, G.N.R.) is a large village on the Welwyn-Hitchin Road, with a pleasant heath a little W. The Church of St. Giles is an ancient structure, E.E., restored in 1853; it stands in a field 1/2 mile N. from the village. The S. chapel dates from 1312. The embattled W. tower is a fine structure. There are several memorial windows, comparatively modern. COLE GREEN has a station on the G.N.R. branch line from Hatfield to Hertford. From the station little is to be seen except the Cowper's Arms and a few cottages. _Coleman's Green_ (11/2 mile S.E. from Wheathampstead Station, G.N.R.) is prettily situated near the "Devil's Dyke" and Brocket Hall. John Bunyan sometimes preached in a cottage here; a large chimney-stack, bearing an inscription, still marks the spot, unless quite recently removed. _Collier's End_ is on high ground, on the Old North Road, 2 miles S.W. from Standon Station, G.E.R. It is a very typical English hamlet. COLNE, river. (See Introduction.) COLNEY HEATH (1 mile S. from Smallford Station, G.N.R.) is an ecclesiastical parish. The brick church (1844) is in Byzantine style; it has an apsidal chancel, and small N. porch and tower. The new West Herts County Asylum is close by. COLNEY STREET, on the main road from Radlett to St. Albans, forms an almost equilateral triangle with Park Street and Bricket Wood Stations, L.&N.W.R. It is only a few minutes' walk from the pretty church at Frogmore (_q.v._). _Common Moor_ may be visited from Croxley Green (3/4 mile N.E. from Rickmansworth) for an inspection of its large paper mill. _Cooter's End_ is a tiny hamlet close to the M.R. on the Bedfordshire border. _Corey's Mill_, a hamlet 1 mile N. from Stevenage Station, G.N.R., is named from an old mill, burnt in 1878. COTTERED (3 miles W. from Buntingford) has a fine old church (Perp.). There is a chapel on the N. side of the chancel erected by Edward Pulter; the W. tower is embattled and carries a lofty spire. Several memorials to the Pulter and Forester families are of the seventeenth century. The church was restored in 1886. In the days of William I. the _vill_ of Chodrei belonged to Walchelin, Bishop of Winchester. _Cottered Lordship_, a farmhouse near the village, is one of t
