More about this scene
On 24 June 1827, William Cobbett wrote in his 'Rural Rides': 'Set out at four this morning for Redbourn. The trees ... are very fine: oak, ashes and beeches; some of the finest of each sort. The hedges are full with shepherd's rose, honeysuckles and all sorts of flowers, with the most beautiful of all flower gardens and shrubberies on your one hand and corn on the other. What can equal these fields in Hertfordshire?' Maybe our view lacks the shrubberies, flowers and corn, but little else would have changed since Cobbett's time.
