. The Victoria history of the county of Hertford. Natural history. A HISTORY OF HERTFORDSHIRE =play under. In the south-east corner is a piscina with a poiuted and splayed edge ; the bowl is in a projecting part of the sill. A moulded string-course on the inside wall at the sill level is broken only by the blocked north door, which has a pointed arch of two moulded orders of 14th-century date. The windows in the south aisle are similar to those in the north, the section of the inner label in the windows in the south wall being different. The east window, which opens into the modern organ- chamber, is unglazed. The stair to the rood-loft is placed in the north-east corner of the aisle ; the 15th- century four-centred doorway is set in a splay in the aisle; the upper doorway to the rood-loft, also with a four-centred arch, opens into the nave. In the south wall near the east end is a raid-i+th-century piscina with pointed head and moulded jambs. The wall is a two-light window with traceried head. The tower is finished with an embattled parapet and a small leaded spire. The font has an octagonal basin, round which are carved in relief two rows of continuous foliage, prob- ably of early 1 3th-ccntury work ; the stem is modern, but the original bases of detached shafts remain. All the other fittings are modern. In the organ-chamber is a large chest bound with many iron bands and with six handles ; it is probably of 16th-century date. Another chest, in the vestry, bears the letters and the crest of the Sadleir family. On the north side of the chancel is a large marble monument to Sir Thomas Sadleir, who died in 1606, and Gertrude his wife. Their recumbent effigies lie under a semicircular canopy supported by columns ; above the cornice are their arms.
