Once a medieval thoroughfare, now a path running behind the former Cricketers pub and the Jolly Sailor, with its role as a road replaced by Stonecross. For many years nameless, research by Kate Morris of the St Albans and Hertfordshire Architectural and Archaeological Society led to the rediscovery of its original name and it was formally renamed in October 2006. The meaning behind the name is uncertain.
