Crews Hill is a village in the north most part of Greater London. It’s a paradise for green fingered folks who travel to the plethora of garden centres along Cattlegate road and Theobalds Park road.
Broxbourne grew around inns on the Great Cambridge Road, now known as the A10. A number of old houses and inns dating from the 16th to the 19th centuries still line the High Street (now the A1170).[4] The Hertfordshire Golf and Country Club is a 16th Century house with later alterations and additions.
The Manor of Broxbourne has an entry in the Domesday Book as Brochtsborne,[5] where Broxbourne Mill is listed. The manor was held in the time of Edward the Confessor by Stigand, the Archbishop of Canterbury, but had passed into Norman hands following the Conquest. King John granted the manor to the Knights Hospitallers until the Dissolution, when it passed to John Cock, after whose family Cock Lane is named.[6]
