. The Victoria history of the county of Hertford. Natural history. A HISTORY OF HERTFORDSHIRE was used a* a workhouse and afterwards as a school. It has lately been bought and given for a church house (ice Charities, no. l).11* On both sides of Bell Street are several 17th-century cottages built of timber and brick coated with cement and having projecting upper stories. A cottage on the south side has its original brick chimneys. There are also some pleasing 1 8th- centory houses in the town. On the road to High Wych is the Hand and Crown Inn, a 16th-century gabled building of two stories which has been added to in the last century. It is of timber and plaster with a projecting upper story and a porch. There is an original window on the south side. On the Stort- ford Road, a little way past North End, is Three Mile Pond Farm, a 17th-century pargeted house. Clay Lane (now called West Road), leading west from the town, has also several old farm-houses. Great Beazleys, on the north of it, is now a small cottage, but incor- porates a fragment of an earlier 17th-century timber- framed farm-house of two stories. On an interior Successive grants of market (see manor) hire never resulted in making Saw bridge worth a com- mercial centre. Probably the neighbourhood of a flourishing market at Bishop's Stortford interfered with the success of the Saw bridge worth market. From the number of inhabitants who contributed to the various local assessments, however, it would seem that the town has always been a thriving one, and in the 15th century there is record of burgage tenure there (see manor). In the 14th century the parish was divided for fiscal purposes into the districts of Cherchegate Street, Pyshoo Street, Nethynhoo, West- wood Street, Frere Street, Mynton Street, Smith Street, Chames Well Street, Haleynes Grene (Allen's Green), Brod Street, Speibrok and Northende. Clutterbuck, writing in 1817, mentions that the parish contained three hamlets, Town Quarter, Spelbrook Quart
