Where to stay in Potters Bar

St. Giles, South Mimms Parish Church of South Mimms, seen from within the churchyard. The church tower is at the Blanche Lane end. This view is from beside the footpath that leads from Blanche Lane to St. Albans Road, behind me. The church is a nice example of a flint-knapped building. The chancel dates to the 13th century and the tower to circa 1450
