Grand Union Canal: Lock Number 49: Northchurch Top Lock
The brick building beyond the lock has the date 1943, and appears to have some function to do with the canal.

Grand Union Canal in Northchurch
The utilitarian colours of the British Waterways' barges, moored here to the left and right just upstream of Northchurch Lock, compare with the gaily coloured private craft further away. The first narrowboat on the left beyond the blue barge is the Water Spirit of Bradford on Avon.

Northchurch: St Mary's Church
There has been a place of Christian worship on this site since before the Norman Conquest in 1066, and some of the foundations are agreed to be Saxon, making the church one of the oldest in Hertfordshire. The bulk of the church dates from the 11th to the 14th centuries with the tower being built in the 15th century.
The churchyard contains the tomb of Peter the Wild Boy, a supposedly feral youth who was discovered in a wood in Hanover in 1725, unable to speak or communicate. How he got to Northchurch can be discovered in the pages of the Church's fine website here http://www.stmarysnorthchurch.com/index.asp
