More about this scene

The town of Broxbourne runs along the old north road, and was originally one of the largest parishes in the county. Hoddesdon was a small hamlet on its northern boundary, but when its church of St Paul was built, it broke away. Today, the upstart Hoddesdon is a large and successful market town, whilst Broxbourne boasts only a short row of shops in its High Street. Broxbourne's parish church of St Augustine is much larger than St Paul's. It contains a number of interesting monuments, including a memorial to the Scottish road engineer, John Louden Macadam, who lived at Hoddesdon, and Edward Christian, brother of Fletcher Christian who led the mutiny on the 'Bounty'.
