Even the parish church (St Mary's) stands in the park of North Mimms; in it is a chapel, the burialplace of the Coningsbys. There is a monument to Robert Knolles, also of North Mimms Place, of the date 1458. There is also a brass to a priest. There is a large monument to Lord Somers, Baron Evesham, and lord chancellor in the time of William III., d. 1716. The monument was erected by his sister, Lady Elizabeth Jekyll

The civil parish includes:

• North Mimms Place: The Jacobean house of 1599 belonged to the Coningsby family. During the ownership of Thomas Coningsby, a Royalist leader in Hertfordshires, the house was plundered by the Parliamentarians. Later North Mimms Park belonged to the Hyde family . The house is famous for its collection of tapestry and for its panelling and fittings, and for the rediscovery of the unique early 17th-century painted frieze of the "Nine Worthies".

North Mymms House is credited in filming the 1983 period piece "The Wicked Lady" featuring Faye Dunaway as a bored lady aristocrat who takes up highway robbery with an original score by Tony Banks of Genesis.
