Flower Delivery to Datchworth with Clare Florist

With a population of just over 1,000 people, as of the 2001 census, there is no denying that Datchworth is a quaint English village. Datchworth is located between Welwyn Garden City, Stevenage and Hertford in the country of Hertfordshire. It is located on the old Roman road which runs between Puckeridge and St Albans. The village has a number of different Saxon clearing in a variety of places in the local area. While there is not a great deal on offer in Datchworth, there is a village green, a sports club and two public houses.

It is believed that the name of Datchworth hails from Daecca, who was a Saxon lord, and the name was pronounced Datcher. The lord settled in the area around 700AD with the worth element of the name coming from Wyrthe, which is said to mean enclosure. Of course, just because this is the time the name of the place originates from doesn’t mean that this is the time that all life in the area can be traced back to. It is believed that there was a considerable amount of life in Datchworth long before 700AD. There are two major Belgic sites in the area and the run of the parish boundary is said to follow the ditches from this era.

There is a recoding on Datchworth in the Domesday book, which means that it was noted during the time of the Normans, with land values and occupants of the area being recorded for the 11th century. One of the notable points in the east side of the green is the whopping post. The last time these posts were recorded as being used dates back to 1665, when there was a public flogging of two vagabonds. There were stocks close to the posts as well, although these were believed to have been removed back in 1899.

Another notable element of Datchworth comes with the Second World War. The last recorded issue of enemy action on British soil occurred on the 29th of March in 1945 in Datchworth. This was when a flying bomb, a V-1, landed in a field in the local area.
