More about Berkhamsted Hertfordshire
Berkhamsted is a historic town of some 19,000 people,
situated in the west of Hertfordshire, to the north-west
of London, UK. It is in the administrative district (and
borough since 1984) of Dacorum. It is best known for its
medieval castle beside the railway station. Now ruined
and in the care of English Heritage, this was at one
time the home of Edward, the Black Prince and his wife,
Joan of Kent.
Famous people born in Berkhamsted include the English
poet William Cowper (1731) and the influential soldier
Sir Horace Smith-Dorrien (1858) .
The town is also home to the Berkhamsted Collegiate
School, founded in 1541 and attended by the celebrated
author Graham Greene. The town now thrives as a wealthy
settlement for those working in London and the South
East.
It is also the home of the British Film Institute's
National Film and Television Archive, the largest film
archive of its kind in the world.
Berkhamsted was also the terminating point of the Norman
invasion of 1066. The invading army encircled London
from the south east, then across to the west and north
through Wallingford, and finally stopping at
Berkhamsted, at which point the conquest was effectively
complete. Edgar Atheling submitted to William the
Conqueror here and William was offered the crown of
England, but declined saying he would rather receive the
keys to London in Berkhamsted and would have the crown
in London. This is the probable source of a local legend
that Berkhamsted is the real capital of England.
The town is also known as the Port of Berkhamsted as it
stands on the Grand Union Canal (built by the Duke of
Bridgewater who lived in nearby Ashridge House) and the
River Bulbourne (which is not navigable). The local
council have restored the "port" signs on the tow path
and the town is a popular stop for cyclists and boaters
alike with many canal side pubs.
Recently (2001), upon renovation of a chemists shop at
173 Berkhamsted High Street, it was discovered that the
property was much older than believed. The Victorian
facade hid a medieval building. The building has been
dated via dendrochronology of structural timbers to
between 1277 and 1297. This is the oldest known shop in
Great Britain. It is believed that one of the older or
even original uses for the shop may have been as a
jeweller or goldsmith.
Berkhamsted is the site of Ashlyns School a large
impressive building which was the former foundling
hospital opened in 1935. It contains stained glass
windows, a staircase and many monuments from the
original London hospital. The School Chapel housed an
organ played on by Handel.
Berkhamsted is also known as Great Berkhamsted to
distinguish it from the town of Little Berkhamsted which
is located many miles away.
