Stansted Mountfitchet history

---

Stansted was a Saxon settlement (the name means ‘stony place’ in Anglo-Saxon) that predates the Norman conquest. It was one of many villages and manors controlled by the powerful Robert Gernon de Montfichet (from Montfiquet in Normandy) so began to be referred to as Stansted Mountfitchet. A small remnant of his castle remains, around which a reconstruction of an early Norman castle has been built.
