The Queen's Head By the mid-eighteenth century when stage-coaches were running regularly, the trade of the wayside taverns in Wormley must have been one of the principal industries of the village. From the Court Rolls of the manor we find that from 1742 the Manorial Courts were held at the Queen’s Head, which formed part of the Wormley Bury estate until 1851; an inn which survives to this...

The Old Manor House The oldest surviving building on the High Road in Wormley, is the old Manor House, which dates from the late *16th and early 17th centuries. It probably stands on the site of the house occupied by the farmer of the manor lands before Wormleybury was built and its correct name should be the Manor Farm. Alternatively it has been identified as Dowsyns, a property mentioned as early... 

The manor of Wormley was granted by Harold, later King of England, to the college of Canons he had founded at Waltham in 1060. This grant was confirmed by Edward the Confessor. From the Domesday Survey we learn that Wormley was taxed as five hides (about 700 acres) and that there were live villeins, four bordars, three cottagers, and two bondmen. There was pannage (feed) for three hundred hogs and... 

St. Laurence's Church There is little doubt that a church – probably one built of wood existed in Saxon times, of which no trace can now be found. During the first half of the twelve century, this somewhat temporary building was replaced by one of more solid construction. Of this, the north wall of the nave, including a window and the north doorway, still survive. The arch over the south...
