North Mimms Place

The civil parish includes:

  • North Mimms Place: The Jacobean house of 1599 belonged to the Coningsby family. During the ownership of Thomas Coningsby, a Royalist leader in Hertfordshires, the house was plundered by the Parliamentarians. Later North Mimms Park belonged to the Hyde family [1]. The house is famous for its collection of tapestry and for its panelling and fittings, and for the rediscovery of the unique early 17th-century painted frieze of the "Nine Worthies".

North Mymms House is credited in filming the 1983 period piece "The Wicked Lady" featuring Faye Dunaway as an bored lady aristocrat whom takes up highway robbery with an original score by Tony Banks of Genesis.

  • Brookmans Park: The park includes the former park of Gobions (demolished) once the property of Sir Thomas More. A lofty castellated gateway in the park is now called "The Folly". In 1956 North Mymms Parish Council acquired the land and the lake now known as Gobions Open Space.
