My mother's family ...What a wonderful article. My mother's family is from Hemel Hempstead. The Bailey's were merchants in the mid 1800's through the 1930ish time period. Edward Bailey the patriarch of the family lived at 80 Bury Road or what you have correctly named Ebeneezer House. He was an insurance agent. His son Walter owned the sweet shop next to Bailey's Mew at the top of the High Street. Edward's son William Heading Bailey was on the very first council in 1889. He also was a grocer and butcher.<br /><br />As to your inquiry of whether or not the cemetery next to Ebeneezer belonged to the family it was not. The Baptist Church purchase the plot of land for use of a cemetery, Oddly enough, I have a picture and etching of a headstone of one Samuel Ewer. This peaked my interest as William Heading Bailey was married to Elizabeth Jane Ewer. I have not found any link to this man as yet.<br /><br />William Heading Bailey lived in what the family call Bury Mill End where the now roundabout is now. After looking at several census documents and in 1871 their address of Pope's Lane. As I was looking for a source to show where Pope's Lane was located I found your blog. Thanks so very much!<br /> jayne.gossett@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10673668847918798246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152950892272252636.post-89594626642823119052017-09-23T22:10:12.395-07:002017-09-23T22:10:12.395-07:00Can any of you Hemel history buffs help?

It was a timbered building and we all knew it as 'Henry VIII's Hunting Lodge'. Are there any old maps showing that building, whatever it was? <br /><br />Many thanks for any help you can offer!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11499719120159863658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152950892272252636.post-47323885386808602162016-08-09T11:48:08.452-07:002016-08-09T11:48:08.452-07:00What a great intro to Hemel.
