. The Victoria history of the county of Hertford. Natural history. A HISTORY OF HERTFORDSHIRE tower arch is of three moulded orders and moulded jambs, the inner members of which have moulded capitals and bases. The west doorway has a two- centred arch with continuous mouldings, under a square moulded label, with head stops. In each spandrel is a quatrefoiled circle containing a shield ; the shield on the north is charged with a mitre, that on the south with three leopards. To the south of the doorway is a small plain recessed stoup. The tracery of the three-light west window is modern.

The patronage is now vested in the see of St. ; Francis Burleigh, presented by Queen Elizabeth during a vacancy of the see of London in 1594, was one of the translators of the Authorized Version of the ; Thomas Turner, who was rector from 1680 to 1689, was in 1688 elected president of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, where his tenure of office was marked.
