Historic Legacy - Set within the historic grounds of Bury Farm in Great Hormead, Audrey House is part of a remarkable 19th-century farmstead commissioned in 1850 by James White Higgins, a London surveyor and philanthropist. Designed by Frederic Chancellor, a young architect of the Victorian era, the barns reflect the agricultural innovation and architectural elegance of the time.
Originally known as Tithe Farm, the estate was later renamed and expanded, becoming a focal point of rural life in Hertfordshire. The barns were constructed using flint and red brick, with distinctive stepped triple gables, ventilation slots, and covered yards—a rare example of Victorian “high farming” architecture.
