. The Victoria history of the county of Hertford. Natural history. EDWINSTREE HUNDRED four-centred arch and moulded cornice above ; it is of late 17th-century date. There is another of plainer character in the dining room, but it has been brought from elsewhere. The drawing room is p,inelled with large bolection-moulded oak panels of late 17th- century date. In the dining room and in some of the first-floor rooms is early 17th-century panelling, also some pilasters, friezes and mantelpieces with arabesque carving. A dressing room over the entrance hall has an original heavy oak moulded door frame with a square head. In the cellar under the south end of the drawing room is a blocked fireplace of stone with plain four-centred arch ; in the walls are several small brick recesses with splayed round-arched heads. The Yew Tree Inn, east of the vicarage, is a late 16th-century building of two stories ; it is timber- framed and weather-boarded, with tiled roof, but has been modernized. A room on the ground floor, now divided into taproom and passage, has a wide fireplace with ingle seats ; the lintel is of wood. The ceiling has some well-moulded beams and all the joists are hollow-chamfered on their lower edges and have carefully worked stops. The chimney stacks are of thin bricks but quite plain. There are several late 16th or early 17th-century cottages in the village, nearly all timber-framed and plastered ; some of the plaster work is panelled and filled with combed work. Many of the cottages are thatched. At East End there is a mission church connected with the parish church, and in the village itself there are Congregational and Primitive Methodist chapels. There is a brewery at Barleycroft End. There are outlying houses at Barleycroft End, where the road through the village meets Violets Lane,' at its junction with the road to Stocking Pelham,' and, further east, at East End. St. John's Pelham, where there is a large moat, and Whitebarns, both the property of Mr. E.
