Famous for having a bridge linking two of the quads, named and styled after the Bridge of Sighs in Venice. Also has a cat called Simpkins, who terrorises the cat of the nearby Turf Tavern, called Louvois, after someone famous of the same name.

Hert is an acceptable spelling of 'hart', an oldish word for a stag (Goodliest of all the forest, hart and hind. --Milton). In fact, Hertford was originally founded as Hart Hall by Elias de Hertford around 1282.
