Description

Berkhamsted Through Time brings to life the rich history and character of this market town in Hertfordshire. At its heart are two iconic buildings: the Norman castle, which still belongs to the Duchy of Cornwall, and Berkhamsted Town Hall, with its thriving market dating back to Saxon times.

These landmarks, along with the surrounding countryside, offer a glimpse into the town's fascinating past. From its importance in medieval times to its role in modern-day community life, this book explores it all. With thousands of visitors drawn to the castle each year, and a band of independent citizens saving the Town Hall from demolition in the 1970s, Berkhamsted Through Time is a story of perseverance and tradition.

With over 90 years of history packed into its pages, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in local history or simply wanting to learn more about this charming town.
