Berkhamsted's population was around 19,000 at the 2021 census — a Hertfordshire market town that played a genuinely pivotal role in 1066.
The surrender at Berkhamsted
After defeating King Harold at the Battle of Hastings, William the Conqueror advanced on London, and it was at Berkhamsted that the English nobles, bishops and citizens of London are recorded as formally submitting to him, shortly before his coronation as king. The earthwork motte-and-bailey castle later built at Berkhamsted — whose substantial remains still stand today — became one of William's key strongholds, and the town's most famous later resident, the writer Graham Greene, grew up within sight of its walls.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Berkhamsted's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Berkhamsted shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent than a trip into Hemel Hempstead or Watford, which is where most Berkhamsted shoppers would otherwise have to go for a wider confectionery range.
