More about Ware Hertfordshire
Ware is a typical Hertfordshire market town, with a
population of around 17,780. It has a close community
spirit, flourishing amongst its ancient and modern
streets. The Romans had a vital hand in establishing the
prosperity of Ware. They were not the first people to
live in this area though - archaelogical evidence of
early Iron Age and possible Bronze Age settlements has
also been found.
The malting industry dominated the life of the town from
the 17th century and Ware could justly claim to be the
premier malting town in England. What gave malting in
Ware the edge over other centres was its position
between London and the barley-growing counties of
Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, together with its situation
on the River Lea, with easy transport by barge to
London. The malting industry has now gone and many of
the old maltings have been converted into offices,
factories and houses, but Ware still retains its
industrial character. The main employer is now
pharmaceutical giant Glaxo Wellcome, with other
industries located in the Crane Mead, Broadmeads and
Marsh Lane areas.
Places of Interest
Ware's many attractions include The Priory, the parish
church of St Mary the Virgin, Place House, Scott's
Grotto, all of which are Grade 1 listed, and the
delightful 18th century riverside gazebos.
In 1338, Ware Priory was founded in the town in seven
acres off the High Street, built from the remains of a
Franciscan Friary. During the First World War it was
used as a hospital for wounded troops and later as a
private house. In 1920, its owner, Anne Croft, gave the
buildings and grounds, then valued at the huge sum of
?10,000 to the town.
Taking the Priory into the 21st century has been a major
conservation project and much still remains of the
original Friary buildings. Ware Town Council now acts as
trustees of the Priory charity and is responsible for
its upkeep. Today, the Town Council's offices are based
here and the building boasts splendid conference and
banqueting facilities. It also has three rooms which are
approved for civil weddings.
The Domesday Book records show there was a church at
Ware, which was later handed over by William I to the
Benedictine Prior. In 1380, the church was rebuilt and
today the parish church still dominates the western end
of Ware's High Street.
Place House, Bluecoats Yard, off East Street, is another
of Ware's treasures. It was originally one of the two
medieval manor houses and its principle room was open to
the roof with a hearth in the middle of the floor.
Grottos (artificial caves) were fashionable garden
features in the 18th century and Scott's Grotto, in
Scotts Road, is one of the country's finest. It is a
remarkable folly created in the late 18th century by
John Scott, a Quaker poet and friend of Dr Johnson, who
visited the grotto in 1773 and pronounced it a "Fairy
Hall".
Along the river frontage, on the south side of the High
Street, stand the 18th century gazebos, which are a
delightful and unique feature of Ware. Whilst there may
be individual gazebos elsewhere in Britain, nowhere else
do they survive as a group as they do here on the River
Lea. These riverside "summerhouses" stand in the former
gardens of the High Street coaching inns that used to
run down to the river.
For recreation and leisure, Wodson Park Sports Centre on
Wadesmill Road, offers an extensive range of leisure
facilities, including an athletics track and gym.
Fanshawe Pool and Fitness Centre run by East Herts
Council is also located in Park Road. |
