Radlett history
Pre-Roman period
Radlett is situated on the ancient Watling Street, one of the oldest trackways in Britain. The Catuvellauni tribe settled in parts of Hertfordshire, near St Albans and Wheathamstead in about 80BC, but no trace of settlement has been found in or near Radlett itself.
Roman period
During the Roman occupation of Verulamium, the area from Radlett to Brockley Hill was home to a number of major potteries. Potteries are still in evidence at the southern end of the village, in the area around Cobden hill and Tabard RFC.
Post-Roman period
The area was settled by the Saxons by the sixth century, with suggestions that a Saxon church was established on the site of Aldenham Church in King Offa’s time. For most of recorded history, the land to the East of Watling Street was administered separately to that on the West. The Domesday survey of 1086 confirms most of the land was in the possession of the Abbey of Westminster.
Modern period
In 1823 the town was the site of the Radlett murder, a notorious crime which became the subject of numerous books and stage plays. In 1860 the Midland Railway was extended from Bedford into London and a station was built at Radlett connecting it with London. In 1865 the Ecclesiastical Parish of Radlett was created out of the eastern part of Aldenham and this marks the start of the modern history of the village. The introduction of the Metropolitan Green Belt in the 1950s set a legal framework limiting further outward growth.
