Old Hall Green is a tiny hamlet in Hertfordshire, to the west of Puckeridge and the A10.
In 1793, an academy, St. Edmund's College, Ware, was established there which provided a school for Roman Catholic boys and a seminary to train priests serving England's recusant community. St Edmund's College was one of two facilities which replaced the English College at Douai, which had to be evacuated because of the French Revolution. Whilst the school remains, the seminary was moved to Chelsea in 1975.
