More about this scene
It was along this street that the men of the town swarmed in 1381 towards St Albans. They demanded and received a charter protecting their right of pasture, fisheries and so on. After the death of Wat Tyler, the Peasants' Revolt collapsed, and many of these concessions, but not all, were revoked. In 'Hertfordshire Countryside' for January 1970, W G S Crook writes: 'I cannot recollect ever finding Redbourn High Street deserted.' Frith's photographer would have begged to differ.
