Cheshunt and the adjoining town of Waltham Cross are situated in the Lee Valley Park, west of the River Lea in the Borough of Broxbourne, which boasts the lowest council tax in Hertfordshire. Cheshunt town centre is 500 yards from A10, 1 mile from J25 M25
Domesday book sites ‘Cestrehunt’ as a Roman junction en route from London to York, joining Ermine Street and the road between Verulamium, St. Albans east through Cuffley Ridgeway joining Churchgate Road towards Chelmsford.
North of Cheshunt and south of Broxbourne is Turnford and Wormley. Wormley is an unusual village as it still retains the long rectangular shape of a Saxon village. It is traversed by two major roads, a railway and a canal. At the extreme western end of the village is a grassy track through woodland which is all that is left of the Roman route; Ermine Street.
West Cheshunt, across the A10 has conservation areas protecting its historic parts including local buildings as well as Dewhurst Charity School. The area in Tudor times was a playground to Queen Elizabeth I, and has homed descendants and ancestors of Oliver Cromwell, who himself bought Cheshunt Park.
The area includes older villages such as; Bury Green, Churchgate, Hammondstreet, and Flamsteadend. Up to roughly 1930 Flamstead End was a separate village home to Nurseries and greenhouses. After World War 2 the area
became home to a vast number of Italian immigrants, who have since dispersed but increased the areas population immensely. It is in an idealic location surrounded by quiet rolling countryside with walks through the woods or Cheshunt Park.
Goffs Oak is situated north west of Cheshunt Parish Coucil and 19 miles by road from the City of London, named after the family of Gough’s who even to this day live at Goffs House and Sir Theodore Godfrey a baron to William the Conqueror who planted a large oak tree here in 1066. The village is centered around the war memorial and is an area of unspoilt scenery of woodlands, commons and secluded lanes where in some places reaches over three hundred feet above sea level.
In the 1930’s Cheshunt had a higher percentage of its area under glass, due to horticultural nurseries in the world. There was a long continuance of Broxbourne being a place of agriculture; the entire Lee Valley region had a high concentration of nurseries. The ‘Victorian Period Homes’ were designed to house the workers in the late 1800’s. However due to competition from warmer countries and technological moderations to farming, the nurseries have all been replaced by residential accommodation.
The popular residential area of Thomas Rochford Way is situated on a nineteenth century agricultural nursery, passing through generations in the Rochford family. Mr Joseph Rochford erected his first greenhouse in 1872 and developed into the largest firm of its kind in the whole country
