Whilst reading a very old but undated paper for Therfield I came across the following phrase "going to asshick hall with Andrew Ffordhams bill" Does anyone know of any Asshick Hall in the Royston/Buntingford/ Therfield area please? Or indeed, the Ffordham family? Have also discovered that John GROOM was the constable of Therfield in the first two decades of the 1800s and the post was then taken over by Thomas Lacey - I think they were a local farming family. William MANNING and B PRESTON took over in the 1830s Notable arrests during the first half of the century were:- Probert Hunt and Turtle, which apparently resulted in quite a famous case Samuel Jeff? James Warren Edward Retcher? on more than one occasion. Anyone wanting more details, please contact me off list. On the other hand, if you're studying Therfield, I'd love to hear from you. Elaine
