Pirton, Hertfordshire
Pirton is a small village three miles north-east of
Hitchin in
Hertfordshire,
England. The church, rebuilt in
1877, but with the remains of its
12th-century tower, is built within the
bailey of a former castle. Pirton Grange, which was remodelled in the
18th century, is in the north of the parish, and is a particularly interesting, moated Elizabethan house with a timber framed gatehouse. Hammonds Farm and Rectory Farm, with its tithe barn, are also Elizabethan.
