  • The Impact of Agricultural Depression and Land
    THE IMPACT OF AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION AND LAND OWNERSHIP CHANGE ON THE COUNTY OF HERTFORDSHIRE, c.1870-1914 Julie Patricia Moore Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of PhD September 2010 2 ABSTRACT The focus of this research has been on how the county of Hertfordshire negotiated the economic, social and political changes of the late nineteenth century. A rural county sitting within just twenty miles of the nation’s capital, Hertfordshire experienced agricultural depression and a falling rural population, whilst at the same time seeing the arrival of growing numbers of wealthy, professional people whose economic focus was on London but who sought their own little patch of the rural experience. The question of just what constituted that rural experience was played out in the local newspapers and these give a valuable insight into how the farmers of the county sought to establish their own claim to be at the heart of the rural, in the face of an alternative interpretation which was grounded in urban assumptions of the social value of the countryside as the stable heart of the nation. The widening of the franchise, increased levels of food imports and fears over the depopulation of the villages reduced the influence of farmers in directing the debate over the future of the countryside. This study is unusual in that it builds a comprehensive picture of how agricultural depression was experienced in one farming community, before considering how farmers’ attempts to claim ownership of the ‘special’ place of the rural were unsuccessful economically, socially and politically.

This leaflet takes you through some of our picturesque villages situated between the traditional market towns of Bishop’s Stortford, Buntingford, Hertford, Sawbridgeworth and Ware highlighting some of our history and folklore. Find out which village has Hertfordshire’s last surviving 17th Century Mill and which village was home to a witch. Discover what town had a Great Bed that could sleep a dozen at any one time. During your journey you will discover many traditional pubs, tea rooms and restaurants providing refreshments and hospitality. If you’re looking to stay you will find accommodation from farmhouse bed and breakfast to 5 star hotels. 1 History & Folklore Albury - Folklore says that Albury has been touched by the Devil’s hand. In 1880 one of the four church bells fell to the foot of the tower but before it could be repaired or replaced, it disappeared. Some say it was stolen by the Devil. Anstey - Folklore claims that there is a mile long cave which runs from the west to Cave Gate. Locals say that the passage, rediscovered in 1904, is inhabited by a dragon. Although the cave is now grassed over it is possible that it was an entrance to a prehistoric flint mine. The last person to have ventured into the passage was a local fiddler called Blind George who accepted a wager to explore it.
