The picture shows a cottage in St John's Well Lane that stands next to the River Bulbourne, complete with resident heron. St John's Well was the site of the first settlement at Berkhamsted in the eleventh century, where a monastery was established making use of the spring water. Later the monastery founded a hospital that treated injured warriors returning from the Crusades.
