coade stone monument of 1800 to sir hugh myddleton in a romantic setting on an island in the new river itself. the company's surveyor robert mylne designed the memorial here; whilst there is a spring nearby feeding this c17 supply of water for london, the main source is several miles further on: this spot is however within sight of the family mausoleum that mylne had built in the churchyard above, indeed, a steep path leads between the two. myddleton may have laid out the 40 mile river, but this neo-classical ensemble seems more about mylne. amwell is supposedly derived from emma's well, named for the royal saxon.
