== Rucklers Lane== [[File:Rucklers Lane Community Hall 2017.jpg|thumb|right|The Rucklers Lane [[village hall|Community Hall]] was built for the workers of nearby [[Shendish Manor]] in 1909 as a memorial to Arthur Longman, the owner of the estate]] Just to the north of Kings Langley is a small village called Rucklers Lane, named after the road it is built on. The origin of the settlement in the early 20th century was the construction of a number of [[mock tudor]] houses for the workers on the nearby [[Shendish Manor]] estate. A [[village hall|community hall]] was also built for the workers in 1909 as a memorial to Arthur Longman, the owner of the estate; it was originally intended as a [[chapel of ease]] to avoid the long walk to the parish church.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kingslangley.org.uk/RucklersLaneHall.html |title=The Fourth John Prime Memorial Lecture: Rucklers Lane Hall |last1=Bower |first1=Stanley |website=www.kingslangley.org.uk |publisher=Kings Langley Local History and Museum Society |access-date=26 February 2016 }}</ref> Further west along the lane is [[Scouting in East of England#Hertfordshire|Phasels Wood Scout Camp and Activity Centre]] which opened in 1937.<ref>Brittain, Frank L (2008), ''Milestones of 100 Years of Hertfordshire Scouting'', Hertfordshire County Scout Council (p. 62)</ref>
