Foreword

North Mymms, covering some 5,000 acres, is the largest parish in Hertfordshire, with a perimeter of sixteen miles. We have covered each hamlet, trying to put together photographs showing their changing life-styles over the last two centuries; giving a glimpse, we hope, of their individual communities and personalities.

We have made every effort to be accurate, but the passing of time often misleads us. If any of you would like to recount past memories or has appropriate photographs, we should be pleased to talk to you with a view to future publication.

The society is indebted to the following for the use of their photographs: The late Hugh Baddeley and Joan Baddeley, Lilian Caras, the late Pat Clarke, the late Dick and Dorothy Colville, Paul Jiggens, Bill Killick, Ron Kingdon, Joan Knight, Frank H. Meads, Bill Nott, the late George Knott, Margaret A Palmer, Colling Turner, Ron Warner, Ken Wright and the North Mymms Cricket Club.

We should also like to thank the Heritage Lottery Fund and the North Mymms Parish Council for their financial assistance.
