Wormley, Hertfordshire

Wormley is a village and former civil parish, lying between Hoddesdon and Cheshunt in the Broxbourne district, in the county of Hertfordshire, England.

[8] The manor house, called Wormleybury, on the south side of Church Lane, was totally rebuilt in 1734 and remodelled in 1767 and 1782 by Robert Mylne for Sir Abraham Hume.

One is in the middle of Wormley Wood and the other on the north side of a country lane at a point where it is hard to imagine any significant trade traffic passing by.

[11] They were erected following the London Coal and Wine Duties Continuance Act 1861, and thanks to them, many of the bridges across the River Thames were paid for.

[12] On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Hoddesdon and Cheshunt, part also went to form Brickendon Liberty.

[13] St Lawrence's Church forms part of the Parish of Broxbourne with Wormley and is a member of the New River Group Ministry.
