. The Victoria history of the county of Hertford. Natural history. 1612 Cent, late d Modern 20 30 40 Scaj-eofPeet Plan of Brick Houie, Griat Horuead are two large projecting chimney stacb with brick weathered offsets ; the plain shafts are L-shaped on one stack and rectangular on the other. There is not much of interest inside the building. Part of the inclosure of the modern staircase is made up of 17th- century panelling ; all the window sashes are modern. About half a mile west of Brick House, on the same road, are the remains of Parsonage Farm. Most of the building was taken down a few years ago. A large chimney stack of early 17th-century date still stands ; the shafts are square, set diagonally. On the ground floor is a wide fireplace with wood lintel ; some remaining outbuildings are timber-framed and plastered.

The main block and all the wings have crow-stepped gables, but the copings have disappeared. The entrance doorway on the east side of the hall has been modernized. The windows are mostly original, with splayed brick jambs and square heads with labels over ; a number of them are blocked. There are a number of curious little window- openings in the walls of the upper stories measuring about 8 in. by 3 in. and having splayed jambs and heads ; they appear in the wings as well as in the main block. One or two are glazed, but most of them are built up. On the west side of the
