Early history

The current settlement of Chipping first emerged along the former Roman Road Ermine Street as the manor of Pope’s Hall (now Chipping Hall) then a part of Buckland village. Chipping was the site of a market (every Friday) and fair (three days a year) from 1252 until 1360 before its transferral to nearby Buntingford by Elizabeth de Burgh.

After 1700

Chipping has always been overshadowed by its larger neighbours of Buntingford to the south and Royston to the north. From 1700 until the mid-nineteenth century the main occupation of Chipping’s residence was farming. The former public house, The Royal Oak, was destroyed by fire in the 1970s.
