. The Victoria history of the county of Hertford. Natural history. A HISTORY OF HERTFORDSHIRE To the west of Church End, at the intersection of Stane Street with the road to Much Hadham, is the hamlet of Little Hadham, or, as Norden calls it, Hadham on Ash, ' by corruption Hadham Nash.'' The school to the east of the hamlet was built about 1861. At the south end of the hamlet is a smithy. Little Hadham Place stands in a park to the west of the Much Hadham road and is now the residence of Lady Braybrooke. The house was formerly a farm called the Hull and was copyhold up to 1876.' To the north of the park is a modem windmill. Hadham Ford, which lies further south on the road, is the largest hamlet in the parish. There are here several timber-framed and plastered cottages of early 17th-century date, some having panelled plasterwork fronts of the early 18th century. The Independent chapel was built in 1 Soo.° There was vnthin living memory a smithy close by the ford. story with attics. The house is now divided into three cottages. At the junction of the roofs is a brick chimney stack with two octagonal detached shafts with moulded bases ; one of the capitals is gone, the other is modern. The m.iin block is gabled. Some of the windows on the north front have their original moulded oak mullions and transoms ; they are not arched, the brickwork resting on the window frames. At the top of Ford Hill the road forks, one branch, called Hoecroft Lane, running north-east to Green Street, and the other, called Acremore Street, south- east to Bury Green. Acremore Street Farm is a two-storied rectangular building of timber framing covered with plaster and tiled roof. The central brick chimney has square shafts set diagon.nlly. There are some wide fireplaces in the house, partly inclosed with modern cupboards..
