The Hertfordshire town with two train stations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just east of the Prime Meridian you will find the town of Hoddesdon. This town lies in Broxbourne, in Hertfordshire, and has about 40 thousand souls living in it. The town dates back to Anglo-Saxon times and has a mention in the Domesday Book, so it\u2019s pretty ancient. In our quest to review all the hundreds of towns in England, we are now covering towns of this size. Let\u2019s find out what we know about it and see if we can\u2019t uncover a lost ark, a hidden treasure, or just some fruity local gossip.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s everything you need to know about Hoddesdon in one place. We\u2019ll try to make it a fun read.<\/p>\n<h2>The Early Days of Hoddesdon<\/h2>\n<p>Hoddesdon took its name from either a Dane or a Saxon, sometime after the Romans invaded and before the Normans got here. The town lies only 20 miles north of London, so the Roman roads to the north would pass nearby. This could have been enough to birth a settlement. The name of the town came from a Dane or Saxon named Hod. The suffix -don comes from the suffix -dun, which was the name of a small hill in early versions of English. The person\u2019s name may even have been Hodda as some historians believe. Whoever he was, he owned that hill.<\/p>\n<p>The first written record of the town is in the Domesday Book, but even though it has a \u201cRoman Street,\u201d we couldn\u2019t unearth any Roman villas in the area. We can therefore assume that the town grew up later, as the result of a Dane settling after they Vikinged their way here.<\/p>\n<h3>The Doomsday Survey<\/h3>\n<p>During the Domesday Survey, the town had a reported population of about 350 people. This sounds small, but 350 people back in 1086 was an army. Many of the smaller locations in the Domesday Book had only two or three households, never mind 300 people. In fact, Hoddesdon had 67.5 households, making it one of the biggest 20% of all settlements in England at that time. Don\u2019t let them fool you, it was never a tiny village.<\/p>\n<p>There were 6 owners listed for the town in the Domesday Book \u2013 not quite the village that other sources say it was. You can view the entry in the open Domesday resource for yourself, <a href=\"https:\/\/opendomesday.org\/place\/TL3708\/hoddesdon\/\">here<\/a>. One of the owners was King William himself, another belonged to Peter the Burgess. Geoffrey de Mandeville owned some of it, as did two counts: Eustace and Alan of Brittany. The last owner was a local man named Edward of Salisbury.<\/p>\n<p>Between all of them, these men owned some astonishing wealth. Let\u2019s do this list style to save time. They owned:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Count Alan of Brittany \u2013 2 villagers, 8 smallholders, one slave (yes, slave), 2 acres of land, meadows with 4 ploughs, and woodland worth 260 pigs. It was worth 22 pounds.<\/li>\n<li>Count Eustace of Bologne owned 3 smallholders, 1 meadow and a plough, and 50 pigs in a small woodland. It was worth 15 shillings a year.<\/li>\n<li>Edward of Salisbury owned 4 villagers, 2 smallholders, 5 cottagers, 2 slaves, 3 ploughlands, 2 teams of ploughmen, 3 acres of land, a meadow with 4 ploughs, woodland for 20 pigs, and a fishery. The land was worth 3 pounds.<\/li>\n<li>Geoffrey de Mandeville owned 3 smallholders, 2 cottagers, one slave, 1 ploughland and half a team to plough it, 1 meadow with one plough, and woodland enough to hold 50 pigs. It was worth 1 pound per year.<\/li>\n<li>Peter the burgess owned 1 villager, 2 cottagers, 2 slaves, 1.5 ploughlands, two ploughs in a meadow, and woodland for ten pigs. It was worth 1 pound per year.<\/li>\n<li>Lastly, the king himself owned 61 villagers, 1 freed man, 30 smallholders, 22 slaves, 8 Lord\u2019s plough teams and 31.5 men\u2019s plough teams, 120 acres of meadow, 9 wethers of pastureland, 840 pigs in woodland, a church, 3 cobs of cattle, 40 cattle, 195 pigs, and 193 sheep. The land was worth 60 pounds per year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After the Domesday years, the town continued to grow steadily. By 1253 the king had granted a charter to hold both a weekly market and an annual fair. The weekly market in Hoddesdon runs to this day. The town was on the Roman road heading north and even had its own hospital run by the church at one point.<\/p>\n<p>The town suffered under the Black Death in 1348-9. Like any other place in England, it lost 20% of its population thanks to that one period. In 1336 a man named William do la Marche received a license to build a chapel of ease.<\/p>\n<h2>Medieval Hoddesdon History<\/h2>\n<p>The plague would continue to be a problem for Hoddesdon residents down through the ages. In the 16<sup>th<\/sup> century and the 17<sup>th<\/sup> century, they experienced outbreaks of smallpox, cholera, and other plagues. The town suffered through 1603, 1612, 1625, and 1666. At some point during this time, the locals figured out bad water and no sewage was the cause. Nevertheless, piped water systems wouldn\u2019t arrive until the Industrial Era. The town\u2019s hospital opened in the 1400s just to the south of town. Locals called it the hospital of St Laud and St Anthony. It closed in the 1500s thanks to the dissolution of the monasteries sponsored by Henry VIII.<\/p>\n<p>Queen Elizabeth I enlarged the town in 1560. She sought a charter and granted the town a bailiff and a warden. She spent much of her childhood in this area of the country, residing at the nearby Old Palace. The charter sponsored a free Grammar School in the area, based on the site of the old hospital. Sir William Cecil bought the old manor house in 1567 and two years later the queen gave him a neighbouring town. The title of Marquess de Salisbury passed to his descendant James in 1789.<\/p>\n<p>In 1683 the town received a bad reputation. The Rye House Plot occurred in the local Rye House manor. The plot involved assassinating both King Charles I and his brother, the Duke who later became James I. Changes to the king\u2019s travel plans were all that saved his life. This was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/event\/Rye-House-Plot\">whig conspiracy<\/a> and, as we know, thoroughly shook the royal house in the forthcoming civil war. The plot featured the king\u2019s entourage passing along a small road near the Rye House. This is where they would kill him. Ten weeks later the perpetrators were arrested. This was one of those attempted assassinations where nobody is really sure what happened, or to what degree the assassins had even planned it.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a momentary break from the history to take a look at some fun trivia from the town. Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ll be back with the industrial period momentarily.<\/p>\n<h2>Hoddesdon Trivia<\/h2>\n<p>At this point, you may be suffering from history overload. Don\u2019t panic though, we are here to rescue you. We like our readers to be comfortable. Here is all the juicy goss we could dig up about this sleepy town. You\u2019d be surprised how many fun things happen here.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hoddesdon once hosted the 8<sup>th<\/sup> Congres International d\u2019Architecture Moderne back in 1951.<\/li>\n<li>The town\u2019s twin is Dinant, in Belgium.<\/li>\n<li>Hoddesdon Town FC was the first winner of the FA Vase Trophy. They beat Epsom &amp; Ewell 2-1 in the final at Wembley<\/li>\n<li>Hoddesdon Business Park was built to hold an impressive 200 businesses and 5,500 employees. It\u2019s supposed to be big enough to rival the town\u2019s workforce.<\/li>\n<li>You can find a street market here every Wednesday and Friday, from 8-4 pm.<\/li>\n<li>The canal near Hoddesdon was originally a river and was canalised in the mid-1800s to make trade easier. The canal runs into the River Lea, and passes multiple other towns.<\/li>\n<li>Hoddesdon was once voted the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sporcle.com\/games\/Cryptus\/top-20-settlements_hertfordshire\/results\">7<sup>th<\/sup> best place<\/a> to live in Hertfordshire. Is that a win? Well given there are 37 sizable towns in the county we say yes!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve had a refreshing break \u2013 they say a change is as good as a holiday \u2013 let\u2019s get back to learning the history of this wonderful Hertfordshire town.<\/p>\n<h2>The Industrial Era in Broxbourne<\/h2>\n<p>As of 1622, Rawdon House was the possession of Sir Marmaduke Rawdon. He was the one responsible for finally giving the town its own piped water system There\u2019s a statue in the area known as the Samaritan Woman which he erected.<\/p>\n<p>By 1870, after the whig plot, Rye House was in the possession of William Henty Teale. William built a pleasure garden where he displayed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vam.ac.uk\/articles\/great-bed-of-ware\">Great Bed of Ware<\/a>. This is exactly what it sounds like. It is a giant bed over 3 metres wide. Crafted in 1590, those who visited and slept in it carved their initials or apply a wax seal. The famous bard mentions the bed in Twelfth Night, so famous was it in Shakespeare\u2019s time. The bed still exists. You can visit it at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.<\/p>\n<p>The chapel saw replacement in 1732 but the bed remained in the house until moved in the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century. The house itself fell to disrepair. The chapel became the parish church in 1844, although we know from the Domesday survey that there was a church here before that \u2013 more than one.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1700s, brewing became one of the town\u2019s main sources of income. This lasted until the 1930s when most of the breweries were demolished. The breweries were on Brewery Road. Locals produced flour ground in the mills here, and malt grew here. Locals shipped it to London downstream on the Lea. The town held a weekly Hops Market, which eventually stopped in the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century. The standard market still exists, though.<\/p>\n<h2>Modern Day Hoddesdon<\/h2>\n<p>In 1801, the population of Hoddesdon was 1,227 people. Although it was once a thriving country town, it had fizzled in significance. In 1841, a school for boys opened and oil lamps lit the streets. By 1848, gas replaced oil and a waterworks company opened in 1876. William Gosse, the explorer, was born here in 1842.<\/p>\n<p>Brewing fell away in the early 1900s, with the first cinema opening in 1913. Two years later, men from the town would go off to help the war effort. The war memorial opened in 1921, commemorating their names. In 1923 the town received electric street lighting. A library opened in the thirties.<\/p>\n<p>Hoddesdon expanded in 1935 so it included both Broxbourne and Wormley. The town centre as it is now opened in 1967. The government built a bypass in 1974 and the first carnival of light began in 2007.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_208555\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-208555\" class=\"size-full wp-image-208555\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/03\/HoddesdonTownCentre.jpg\" alt=\"Hoddesdon Town Centre\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/03\/HoddesdonTownCentre.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/03\/HoddesdonTownCentre-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/03\/HoddesdonTownCentre-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-208555\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image: By Chris Hunt, <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/\">CC BY-SA 2.0<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Modern Hoddesdon is a lovely place that retains the countryside charm of the original town.
