A free school for boys and girls, and some alms-houses, are the principal charities. Entries from the Marriage Registers for the period 1559-1837 are included in The Allen Index at Hertfordshire Record Office. A village giant of a church with a lanky tower, having stair-turret and spike heads, a long nave, chancel and chapels. Look at the stately aisle arcading's peculiarly grotesque masks and angel corbels above. A murky nave has stained glass in all its windows but two, and the walls are littered with barely seen tablets.
Medieval stairs lead to a Victorian rood loft.
Two stone effigies on carved tomb-chests and under canopies are knit together by an embattled cornice featuring turrets like miniature church towers. Green Men in canopy spandrels. Each effigy is spot lit from the back by a lancet. In the north chapel corner is a life-like marble tableau of c. 1714 to Sir John Coghill and wife who appear to be debating a point of domestic etiquette. Opposite the church is a long drive through semi-parkland and past pleasant modern buildings and conversions of the present college of education, to Wall Hall , now the staff centre.
