Cheshunt

The modern appearance of this town belies its history as it was already well established by the time of its appearance in the Doomsday Book of 1086 (as Chestrehunt).

 

Cheshunt Church

The colourful Old Pond marks the traditional centre of the town although to the west lies the historical Churchgate area which includes Bishops' College, St Mary's Church, Whit Hern Park and the 16th century Green Dragon Inn.

It was here at Pengelly, which burnt down in 1888, that the Cromwell family lived and the grandson of the Lord Protector lies buried in the churchyard.

To the east is a prosperous business centre with offices, warehouses and factories.
