Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You could try asking the Church - they keep records of all their properties. Or look in the Victoria County History for Hertfordshire. These links might help:

You didn't say what church the recotry was attached to?

I also found this:

Location: Datchworth - Rectory Lane
Type: Haunting Manifestation
Date / Time: Unknown
Further Comments: A phantom horse drawn cart without a horse propels itself down the lane, a pair of human legs hanging from the rear.

Actually if you Google the phrase datchworth rectory you get all sorts of stuff about hauntngs! How cool!
