LEMSFORD is another modern ecclesiastical parish, formed forty years ago. It is nearly 3 miles N. from Hatfield, on the S. E. side of Brocket Hall Park. It is widely known for its large mill on the River Lea. The church, erected in 1859 as a memorial to the sixth Earl Cowper, is Early English and Decorated, with a good East window, also to the memory of the earl. The tower (W.) is lofty and embattled.
