Hoddesdon

Hoddesdon is in Hertfordshire, situated in the Lea Valley. The town grew up as a coaching stop on the route between Cambridge and London. Hoddesdon is situated about 20 miles north of London on the main road to Cambridge and to northern towns and cities. Today Hoddesdon has a little light industry but is mainly a London commuter belt town. The town is served by Rye House railway station.

 

History

The name "Hoddesdon" is believed to be derived from a Saxon or Danish personal name combined with the Old English suffix "don", meaning a down or hill.From an early date there were a large number of inns lining the streets to serve the needs of travellers. A market charter was granted to Robert Boxe, lord of the manor, in 1253 By the fourteenth century the Hospital of st Laud and St Anthony had been established in the south of Hoddesdon.

 The town was considerably enlarged in the reign of Elizabeth I, and a number of inns in the High Street date from this time. The monarch granted a royal charter in 1559/60, placing the town government under a bailiff. The charter also established a free grammar school based on the site of the former hospital, and this was placed under the care of the corporation. In 1567 Sir William Cecil acquired the manor of Hoddesdonsbury and two years later Elizabeth granted him the neighbouring manor of Baas. From that date the Cecils maintained a connection with the town which is recorded by the naming of The Salisbury Arms (anciently the Black Lion Inn) : the title Marquess of Salisbury was granted to James Cecil in 1789. 

Brewing was first established in the town in about 1700. In 1803 William Christie established a brewery in the town, and it became a major employer and one of the largest breweries in England. The brewery continued in operation until 1928. Most of the brewery buildings was demolished in 1930.

At its height during the Eighteenth century, more than 35 coaches a day would pass through the town. It saw a boom in the mid Twentieth century as gravel was extracted from the area to be exhausted by the 1970s. The lakes and water pits left behind have been used for local leisure amenities.
