Removals Company In Elstree

It is thought that “the ‘T’ being lost in the wrong division of ‘aet Tidwulfes treo’”.

In 1723, topographer John Norden noted in his book Speculum Britanniae, that in the country of Hertfordshire was one ‘Elstre or Eglestre’.

In the 5th century, British warlord Vortigern and his two sons, Vortimer and Catigern, took part in the Battle of Elstree, then called the Battle of Allestree, where the Saxon Horsa was killed.

There may be confusion with the Battle of Aylesbury.

The Manor of Elstree was formerly included in the Manor of Parkbury and belonged to the Abbey of St. Albans.

On the Dissolution of the Monasteries, it was granted by Henry VIII, to Anthony Denny.

In 1607, Anthony Denny’s grandson Edward Denny sold part of the estate, with all manorial rights, to Robert Briscoe, who sold it the same year to Sir Baptist Hicks.

Part of the estate became the Manor of Boreham and was sold to Edward Beauchamp.

It remained with the Beauchamp-Proctor family until 1751, alienating it to a Mr. Gulston of William. Gulston then sold it to a Mr. Pigfatt, a gunsmith, who within a few years, conveyed it to Thomas Jemmett.

In 1774 it was purchased from Mr. Jemmet by the late George Byng, M.P. for Middlesex, who passed it on to his son, by which time the estate was called the Manor of Boreham.

Elstree & Borehamwood railway station is on the Thameslink line between London St Pancras and Bedford.

It was built by the Midland Railway in 1868 and is located just north of the 1,072-yard-long Elstree Tunnels.

The area of Borehamwood to the west of the railway line, formally Deacon’s Hill, is colloquially called Elstree even though it is not contiguous with the village.

Elstree South Underground station was due to be an extension of the Northern line, planned in the 1930s, but never completed.
