HODDESDON

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 556 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HIG-HOR
HODDESDON , an urban
district
  in the Hertford parliamentary division of
Hertfordshire
 , England, near the river Lea. 17 M. N. from London by the Great Eastern railway (Broxbourne and Hoddesdon station on the
Cambridge
  line). Pop. (19o1), 4711. This is the northernmost of a
series
  of populous townshipsextending from the suburbs of London along the Lea valley as far as its junction with the Stort, which is close to Hoddesdon. They are in the main residential. Hoddesdon was a famous coaching station on the Old North Road; and the
Bull
  posting-
house
  is mentioned in Matthew Prior's " Down
Hall
 ." The Lea has been a favourite resort of anglers (mainly for coarse fish in this part) from the time of Izaak Walton, in whose book Hoddesdon is specifically named. The church of St Augustine, Broxbourne, is a fine example of Perpendicular
work
 , and contains interesting monuments, including an altar tomb with enamelled brasses of 1473. Hoddesdon probably covers the site of a Romano-British
village
 .
