Brickendon
Brickendon is a village to the south of Hertford with 20th century boundaries. It is in the Hertford Hundred and the Hertford Union
"The area that has gone by the name of Brickendon has shifted somewhat over the centuries, originally extending to the river Lea in the north and covering parts of what are now Hertford, including West Street, part of Castle Street and All Saints church. What we think of today as the village of Brickendon was previously known as Brickendon Green and even in 2004 there are still a couple of road signs that point to Brickendon Green rather than to Brickendon." From the excellent Brickendon web site. The site also gives details of a book, What a Liberty, which records the history on the web site in book form.
