. The Victoria history of the county of Hertford. Natural history. EDWINSTREE HUNDRED cottages. It is L-shaped on plan and has all the timbering exposed. The lower story of the north vring IS of brick ; the upper floor on the south front projects. The roofs are thatched and the east and west gables are hipped ; all the chimneys are plain. On the south side of the road, nearly opposite the vicarage, is a timber-framed and plastered cottage, with part of the front upper story overhanging ; the roof is tiled. The front has flush panels of plaster filled with combed work ; in one panel is a lozenge pattern with moulded ribs and the date 1724. At Hare Street, three-quarters of a mile west of the village, is a cottage, for- merly the Swan Inn, now a private house. It is of timber- framing plastered in front and weather-boarded at the end. The tiled and the chimney stacks are plain. At each end of the front the gabled upper story overhangs, and beneath are oriel windows on plastered brackets. It is of early 17th-century date. Hare Street House, a farm at the north end of the hamlet, is probably of early 17th- century date, with an 18th- century brick front. The old walls are timber-framed and plastered. The two chimney stacks have detached octagonal shafts with moulded bases ; the capitals, which appear to have been rebuilt, are of over- sailing courses. The house contains in one room some 17th-century panelling with fluted frieze, also a little panelling of later date. Hormead Hall, the manor- house of Hormead Redeswell, now a farm-house, stands near the east end of the village. The site is moated, portions of a wet moat remaining on the north, south and east sides. The house is L-shaped on plan ; the walls are timber- framed and plastered and the roofs are tiled. It is probably of late 16th or early 17th- century date, but has been altered and modernized and one-story buildings have been erected on the north side. The main block runs east and west, and at its w
