Hertford No. 5 / Hartfelde / Hertforde / Herutford

There are five entries for Hertford [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL3212/hertford/] [accessed 9 November 2016]; one of the entries mentions a church in it; another mentions two churches in it. The Victoria County History {Hertford, vol. 3, 1912) notes: "The church of ST. NICHOLAS existed in 1291, when the Prior of Wilford (Kent) had a pension of £1 in it. [...] The advowson of the rectory belonged to the alien priory of Wilford, [...] St. Nicholas was parochial, but the extent of the parish is unknown. In 1428 it had less than ten inhabitants (householders). [...] The living had been united to that of St. Andrew by 1535, [...] so that probably the church was then already disused. [...] The building is described by Chauncy as standing 'near St. Nicholas Street, at the west end of Back Street, towards the mills in the back yard to the Maidenhead Inn, where the ruins of the church are yet to be seen.'"
