. The Victoria history of the county of Hertford. Natural history. EDWINSTREE HUNDRED LAYSTON of the Templars with suit at their court of Bunting- ford.^ This holding passed with the Templars' other lands to the Knights Hospitallers in 1309.*° After the Dissolution part of the Hospitallers' lands in Buntingford were granted with the preceptory of Shingay*^ and part was attached to the manor of Standon^' in Braughing Hundred (). The church of ST. B^RTHOLO- CHURCHES MEfV consists of chancel 30 ft. 3 in. by 17 ft., nave 52 ft. by 27 ft., west tower 14 ft. square and south porch I o ft. by 9 ft. 6 in.; all internal dimensions.

At the east end of the south wall is a 13th-century piscina with rebated jambs, much broken, and shouldered head similar to the aumbry in the east wall. Set in the south wall is a stone corbel carved with a grotesque face and with remains of colouring. It is of i 5th-century date and probably supported an image ; it is not in its original position. The chancel arch is slightly four-centred and is of two moulded orders without a label ; the jambs have round engaged shafts with moulded capitals and In the north wall of the nave are two three-light and one two-light window of the 15 th century, having cinquefoiled lights under four-centred arches, with wid
