A market town, a King's pawn, an evacuation centre and a commuter's rest stop, Bishop's Stortford has been a bustling centre of activity for many centuries. From its earliest days, Bishop's Stortford was an important commuter town; starting with the Romans and continuing up to the present day with London Stansted right on its doorstep. After becoming a pawn in the disputes between King John and the Pope in the thirteenth century, Bishop's Stortford developed into a thriving market town in the Middle Ages. The opening of the Sort Navigation in 1769, and the introduction of the railway in the nineteenth century further increased its prosperity, and Bishop's Stortford continues to thrive today. Featuring 180 full colour images, Bishop's Stortford Through Time takes the reader on a fascinating journey of the town's history and how it became what it is today.
