More about Hitchin Hertfordshire
The earliest part of Hitchin's history begins with King Offa of Mercia, who founded a religious house in AD 792 on land occupied by the Hicce tribe. This was the beginning of Hitchin's parish church, second only in size to St Albans Abbey in the county. In the Domesday Book of 1086 Hitchin is recorded as a Royal Manor and by medieval times it was a thriving town on the banks of the River Hiz. In 1697, Hitchin (and the nearby village of Offley) were subject to what is thought to have been the most severe hailstorm in recorded UK history. Hailstones over 4 inches in diameter were reported. Hitchin’s present church dates from the 13th century and was built with money from the wool trade. The surrounding lands favoured the breeding of sheep on the hillsides, while the flat land grew excellent crops of wheat, barley and lavender, and trade grew rapidly. Communications with Hitchin have always been important. Before the Romans came there were ancient trackways criss-crossing the country. The Icknield Way, once a significant trade route, passes by the northern edge of Hitchin and makes for some interesting walks. Walking around the parish church of St Mary, right in the centre of the town, one sees that Hitchin's medieval plan has altered amazingly little from the time the church was built. The streets radiate outwards with markets, shops, and a charming riverside frontage close at hand. Every street contains buildings of interest and the town's history can be traced in them. After the 17th century, Hitchin became a frequent staging post for London coaches and many of the inns from that time, with their picturesque courtyards, can still be seen in Hitchin's narrow streets. By the middle of the 19th century the railway had arrived, and with it a new way of life for Hitchin. The Corn Exchange was built in the Market Place and within a short time Hitchin established itself as a major centre for grain trading. By the close of the twentieth century, Hitchin had become a satellite dormitory town for London. Hitchin has also developed a fairly strong Sikh community based around the Walsworth area. Today, the town still gives an air of peace and prosperity. A famous connection to Hitchin is the American actor and comedian Bob Hope who died in 2003. Bob Hope was originally born in Eltham in England and emigrated to the USA in 1907 at the age of four. However, he maintained strong links with his family back in England and still has family in Hitchin. Indeed, Bob Hope claimed to have inherited his sense of humour from his paternal grandfather from Hitchin. The conductor and founder of The Promenade Concerts, Sir Henry Wood is buried in Hitchin at St. Mary's Church. He was taken to Hitchin Hospital on 16th August 1944 where he died three days later. The latter half of the 20th century also brought great changes in communication to Hitchin. Motorways have shortened journey times and brought Luton, a few miles away on the Ml, and the Al(M) even closer. Nikolaus Pevsner, the renowned architectural author, described Hitchin as being, after St Albans, the most visually satisfying town in the county. It continues to satisfy the visitors who come to rejoice in this pleasant, compact market town so rich in beautiful things and one that delights in welcoming those who come to share them.
