Description
Hemel Hempstead Through Time explores the rich history of this Hertfordshire town, tracing its development from the Domesday Book survey in 1086 to its transformation into one of the county's largest towns.
From St Mary's Parish Church, dating back to 1150, to Henry VIII's grant of a Charter in 1539, which put Hemel Hempstead on the map, the town has undergone significant changes over the centuries. This book showcases the evolution of Hemel Hempstead, featuring photographs that bring back memories of the past and highlight the places and buildings that have replaced them.
