More about this scene
St Mary's church dominates the High Street skyline. Unique in Hertfordshire, Standon parish church has a detached bell tower and a porch at the west end rather than on the south wall. It is built on the side of a hill, and a flight of steps leads up from the nave to the altar. Although the building dates from the 14th century, the foundations are Saxon. The houses past Burr Meadow and the Windmill pub (left) are known locally as the Three Bears - Little Bear, Middle Bear (Ivy Cottage) and Big Bear (Standon House). On the first Monday in May the Standon Morris Men host groups from all over the region, and a grand assembly of morris men dance on the High Street.
