More about this scene
The 16th-century Chantry in Hadham Road was built on the site of the original priest's house on lands granted under the will of Baldwyn Victor. Just out of sight, under the gate, are the so-called 'ruins'. These, along with the arch, were moved from either St Michael's or one of the London churches and rebuilt at the Chantry by Sir Walter Gilbey.

I remember staying here in 1959/1960 where my friend Mig had moved to. I lost touch and would love to know about her. We had a wonderful holiday together in Perranporth Cornwall. We actually got lost one night and were so relieved when we found our way back to the Golf Club where we were staying in a log cabin.We worked together briefly at the Economist 1959-1960. If she is reading this or anyone that knew her I'd love to know.. I think they moved away to London sometime.
ANY ONE REMEMBER THE TRANSPORT CAFE IN LONDON ROAD,ALSO THE CANNING FACTORY,A NORA ELLIS WORKED THERE FOR MANY YEARS,AND I WORKED AT THE CANNING FACTORY IN THE 50 S,ANY BODY ELSE WORK THERE?MAYBE I MIGHT REMEMBER,
I remember this building being Handscombes Ironmongers. And one end of it being a pram shop in the early 80's I think . I bought my parents their 25th wedding anniversary present in Handscombes... a dinner service in a Poppy design. Full service with tureens etc only cost £24.99! This was in 1978. They held their party at the Bell in Stanstead.
