Am going to England soon and wondering what I should look for in relation to Pruden family. Have seen reference to "first written record of John Prudden (born 1416) in the books of the church at Kingswalden (Our Lady of Kingswalden), Hertfordshire County. Does anyone know if this church still exists and how to find it. Or are there any other records/locations I should seek out while there. Thanks so much.

I was looking through Prudden geneology and found this. My husband and I are going to England in May and I wondered if you found the church in Kings Walden or any information that might be of interest.I am a relative and would love to find out where Rev Peter Prudden was born and lived till he came to Milford. Can you help me? Hope i hear back from you.

Yes, we did go to England last June and did find the church. We took the train from London to the Luton Airport Station. This was important because we were advised not to get off at the Luton Station which was after the Airport Station. We easily got a cab there and between our MapQuest directions and the driver's GPS, we were in Kings Walden in about 15-20 minutes. There was a very nice lady who runs the small landscape nursery across from the church - Louise - who had a key so we were able to go in. The church records are in Hitchin, however. So if you want to go there, or spend more time exploring the area, then I suggest renting a car.
