More about this scene
This view probably shows the fields and open ground at Lower Green, north of Ickleford and close to the Bedfordshire border. John Edwin Cussans, writing at the end of the 19th century, says that two miles north of Ickleford, Meppleshall was a detached part of Hertfordshire entirely surrounded by Bedfordshire. The county boundary cuts through the parlour of the old rectory, and an old oak beam in the fireplace was carved with the words: 'If you wish to go into Hertfordshire, Hitch in a little nearer the fire'.
