Plume of Feathers pub, Gilston The pub is now on a very busy corner and sunken behind traffic barriers. The noise from the traffic, the dents in the barriers from old collisions and the polluted grime make the outside of this pub rather unpleasant.

Site of Eastwick Manor?

The rise in this field is one of two moated sites either side of Eastwick Hall Lane, Eastwick, Herts. They are believed to be the site of Eastwick Manor which dates from the 13th century. The manor had a chequered history until it was burnt down between 1840 and 1850. The land is being sensitively managed by English Heritage to conserve its historical interest and to enhance it wildlife value.

Keeper's

The names of the farms in this area are quite interesting. Look at the map! They presumably reflect the names of the farmers who were the occupants. Or in this case perhaps the gamekeepers?
