  • 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.

  • Green Belt Assessment for Three Rivers District and Watford Borough
    South Oxhey Parcel SO9 © Crown copyright and database rights 2019 Ordnance Survey 100018686 Left image View of the garden centre in the parcel Three Rivers and Watford Stage 2 Green Belt Assessment 362 October 2019 South Oxhey Parcel SO9 Description Garden supply/storage site and a grass verge on the western edge of the inset settlement of South Oxhey and close to the east of the inset settlement edge of Northwood. A tree-line marks the edge with residential development within the inset settlement of South Oxhey to the east and northeast and the A4125 and a woodland strip separate the parcel from the inset settlement edge of Northwood to the west. Woodland forms the principal component of Green Belt in this area, with the constrained Oxhey Woods Local Nature Reserve to the south linking to woodland to the west of the A4125 which arcs northwards to contain the inset settlement edge. Impact on contribution Purpose 1 Contribution - Check the unrestricted sprawl of large built-up areas South Oxhey is close enough to more contiguous urban development to the north and west to be considered to constitute part of the Limited – No contribution large built-up area extending out from Greater London. However, it has a close association with the inset settlement because of its containment between the inset edge and the A4125 and its strong distinction from the surrounding woodland. Therefore the extent to which release of the parcel would be considered sprawl of the large built up area is very limited. Purpose 2 Contribution - Prevent neighbouring towns merging into one another Potentially denser development within the parcel would result in the narrowing of the narrowest part of the settlement gap between Relatively limited South Oxhey and Northwood, which in turn would have some impact on separation between the towns of Northwood and Watford; however the tree cover to the west of the main road plays a more significant role in this respect.

I remain deeply in debt to the inspiration and mentorship of David Spring. Preface In this list cadet, associated, and stem families are arranged in a single entry when substantial property passed between one and the other providing continuity of parliamentary representation (even, as was the case in a few instances, when no blood or marriage relationship existed). Subsidiary/cadet families are usually grouped under the oldest, richest, or most influential stem family. Female MPs are counted with their birth families, or, if not born into a parliamentary family, with their husband’s family.

It has since remained unchallenged as the prime source of reference for anyone interested in the history of Hatfield.

These indexes have now been expanded and cumulated into one, with the aim of allowing greater access to the information held in the series. Hatfield Local History Society hopes that the reappearance of the Hatfield and its People series, with the addition of this cumulative index, will encourage and stimulate others to undertake new research into Hatfield‟s past.
