ch is thought to date from the Conquest, but only an arch in the chancel is Norman. Note (1) the monument to "Edvardus Lacon" (d. 1625), and Joanna his wife (d. 1624); (2) small brass to Richard Goldon, a former vicar (d. 1446--? 1417). A tiny graveyard surrounds the church. _Roxley Court_ (1/2 mile S.) is the property of Colonel Mortimer Hancock. _Wilstone_, near the Aylesbury Canal, lies in a hollow 2 miles S.E. from Marston Gate Station, L.&N.W.R. It has a modern church, E.E. in style, consisting of nave only. _Windridge_, a ward of St. Stephen's parish, is 11/2 mile S.W. from the L.&N.W.R. Station at the foot of Holywell Hill, St. Albans. _Winter Green_ is on the N.W. confines of Knebworth Park, about 1 mile from the church and 2 miles from the station (G.N.R.). The neighbourhood is on high ground. _Woodend_ (31/2 miles S.W. from Westmill Station, G.E.R.) has a numerous population, but is, I believe, a hamlet in Ardeley parish. The modern Chapel of St. Alban the Martyr is built largely of small stones, and has a S. porch. _Walkern Park_ is 3/4 mile S.W. _Woodhall_ (11/2 mile N.N.E. from Hatfield) is a scattered hamlet between Stanborough and Hatfield Hyde. Two farms and several cottages bear the name. Woodhall Woods are a little farther N. _Woodhill_ (about 31/2 miles S.E. from Hatfield) is prettily situated, with _Brookmans_, _Hatfield_ and _Bedwell_ Parks all within a short walk. St. Mark's Chapel-of-Ease was rebuilt in 1880, although originally erected only in 1852 by the then Marquess of Salisbury. _Woodside_ is the name of at least three small places, (1) in the neighbourhood of Hatfield, where Upper and Lower Woodside are at the S.E. side of the park; (2) a ward in the parish of Cheshunt; (3) in the parish of Leavesden. _Woollen's Brook_, on the Hoddesdon-Hertford road, has a tiny Mission Church. It is a small hamlet, a little S. from Haileybury College. _Woolmer Green_ lies on the Great North Road, 1 mile S.E. from Knebworth Station, G.N.R. The roads from Welwyn, Stevenage and Bramfield meet at the S. end of the street. The hamlet is considerable. WORMLEY (1 mile S.W. from Broxbourne Station, G.E.R.) is on the New River. The church is at _Wormley Bury_, 1/2 mile W. from the village; it is very ancient, but was restored twenty years ago. Note (1) Norman font; (2) small Norman doorway on N. side; (3) "The Last Supper," by Giacomo Palma, a fine picture over the communion table; (4) rebuilt c
