Bishop's Stortford

The first Roman settlers in the Bishop's Stortford area established the settlement which served soldiers and traders. The later Saxon settlement that evolved grew up above another ford on the river, which took its name from the town. The other part of the place-name came from the Bishop of London, under whose lordship Bishop's Stortford grew into a thriving market town, guarded by a castle.
