In general the working classes in the rural parts of Hertfordshire rarely got mentioned in the press unless they were involved in crime (as criminals or witnesses) or some of drastic event. However there was one exception where a small number got some publicity. Shows such as the

For instance the full article mentions that Thomas Smith won a prize of £2 10s for having worked for 44 years on Pendley Farm.
