Remarks The lock-up is Grade II listed. The lock-up's door fronting the High Street has been bricked up. This side of the building was once ivy-clad but this has now been removed to reveal the former entrance. Used by the current resident as a garden store. A man was shot dead in the village by the resident policeman in 1833. Hertfordshire Constabulary was only created in 1841 so this policeman was on loan from the Metropolitan Police at local landowners' request.
