St Andrew and St Mary, Watton at Stone
Attractively sited at Watton Green on the south side of this large village between Hertford and Stevenage. For many years locked outside services, but a change of policy, this month means that it is generally open daily 10-3. It’s a large building for a Herts village church. It is basically 15th century with a restoration in 1851 by Joseph Clarke. The north chapel is 16th century for the family inhabiting nearby Woodhall Park, so it is now called the Abel-Smith chapel, unfortunately, the gates into it are locked so pictures have to be taken at an angle, they are near the end of this set. There is a room over the north porch which is accessible from a narrow staircase, again near the end of this step. There are many ledger slabs that the 18th-century pews and choir stalls were randomly built over in some cases.
