More about Baldock Hertfordshire
Baldock is a town in Hertfordshire, England where the
River Ivel rises. It is in the local government district
of North Hertfordshire.
Baldock was founded by the Knights Templar (also the
name of the town's secondary school) in the twelfth
century, indeed the word Baldock is believed to be a
corruption of Baghdad, which the Templars would have
visited during the crusades (However, some have
suggested that the name is more likely to be derived
from "Bald Oak", meaning a dead oak, and that Baghdad
was not, in fact, visited by the Crusaders.) The modern
layout of the town, and many buildings in the centre,
date from the sixteenth century.
The town grew up where the old Great North Road and the
Icknield Way crossed. Despite the construction of the
A1(M) motorway in 1970 which bypassed the town, it was
still a major traffic bottleneck until March of 2006
when a new bypass removed the A505 road (old Icknield
Way) from the town. Due to its location, the town was a
major staging post between London and the north, with
many old coaching inns still operating as pubs and
hotels, and has a surprising number of pubs considering
its size.
The number of pubs becomes less surprising once the
adjacent, much larger town of Letchworth Garden City is
visited. Letchworth Garden City had no alcohol due to
the fact its founder, Ebenezer Howard, was a Quaker, so
only two pubs plus a hotel bar were present up until the
mid 1990s. Its larger population have for many years
instead visited Baldock for refreshment.
There has been human activity on the site well before
the modern town was founded. Many Roman remains have
been discovered during building work in and around the
town, and the site of the Roman settlement is located
near the Hartsfield Primary School in the town. Earlier
Iron Age remains have also been uncovered, as well as a
medieval leper colony, located on Clothall Road
(formerly Pesthouse Lane).
An authoritative history of "Baldock's Middle Ages"
(ISBN 0905858972) was complied by Vivian Crellin, a
former headmaster of the Knights Templar secondary
school.
The character of Baldock will no doubt change
considerably now that the bypass has opened, removing
traffic which has passed from the A1 motorway to the
A505 towards Royston and Cambridge. The bypass was
opened on 16 March 2006.
Baldock was formerly the location of a film studio, the
Art Deco facade of which still stands—converted to a
supermarket in the late 1980s. Another notable building
in the town is the thirteenth century Baldock Parish
Church of St. Mary. Malting and brewing were formerly
major industries in the town, but apart from some light
industry, today it is mostly a commuter town.
