More about this scene
We are approaching the town centre. On the left is the Swan Inn, on the right is Graball Row. as to make it easier to carry away stone from the castle. In 1580 Elizabeth had leased Carey the Manor of Berkhamsted, which included the ruined castle and the deer park, at the nominal rent of one red rose. Sir Edward never lived in his new house in Berkhamsted, preferring to live in Aldenham, so the house was let to his brother Sir Adolphus Carey and later to his son. We cannot leave Berkhamsted Place without mentioning the Great Barn at Castle Hill Farm, the home farm of Berkhamsted Place. The barn, probably 16th-century or earlier, is a weather-boarded building with timber framing - much of this original framing survives. In recent years its condition has deteriorated, but plans are afoot to convert it into housing.
