Feildes Weir Lock, Lock structure on River Lee Navigation in Hoddesdon, England
Feildes Weir Lock measures 85 feet in length and 16 feet in width, featuring a 5-foot drop at the intersection of River Lea and River Stort.
The lock was established in 1767 as part of the Lee Navigation improvements, replacing the original falls at Mr Field's Weir and Mr Archer's Weir.
The name evolved through various spellings, from Paul ffielde to William Feilde, reflecting changes in local landowner surnames and writing conventions.
Visitors can access the lock via Rattys Lane by vehicle or along the towpath, with Rye House railway station providing the nearest public transportation.
The adjacent Glen Faba lake spans 120 acres to the east of the lock, creating a substantial water feature in the Hertfordshire landscape.
