More about this scene
St Leonard's church at Bengeo, probably the oldest building in the Hertford area, dates from the 12th century. It appears to have been built in 1120 to replace a wooden church, which was probably destroyed by the Danes. There is an anchorite's cell behind the panelling in the north wall, and a fine replacement tiled roof over the semicircular apsidal east end.

My first employment was in the year 1945 when I started work at Conrad and company in Bengeo. I Cycled from Newgate Street Village every day. Conrad was a printing firm, and my first job was on a Cropper Charlton Press printing business cards and letterheads. The location of the firm was in the yard of a pub, I believe it was called the Greyhound. Next to the yard was a tobacconist shop run by a Mr ?. I stayed there until I was called up for National Service in 1949.
