Sweets in Bishop's Stortford: Waytemore Castle, and Cecil Rhodes' Birthplace

Bishop's Stortford's population reached 40,955 at the 2021 census, making it the largest town in East Hertfordshire district.

Waytemore Castle and Cecil Rhodes' birthplace

Bishop's Stortford's oldest landmark is Waytemore Castle, a motte-and-bailey castle raised in the time of William the Conqueror; the mound and foundations survive today in Castle Gardens, with the key to the site held at the Tourist Information Centre. The town's other notable claim is more recent — Netteswell House, on Windhill, is the birthplace of Cecil Rhodes, and has operated as a museum since 1938, now combined with the town's local history collection as Bishop's Stortford Museum.

Bishop's Stortford was also historically a market town in its own right, with important horse and cattle markets recorded through the centuries — trade that shaped the wide market square still at the centre of the town today.

What a castle ruin and a museum don't sell

A ruined castle, a museum and a market square with a historic livestock trade are three good reasons to visit Bishop's Stortford — none of them, unsurprisingly, are a source of bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly sweets sorted for a business order.

Why Bishop's Stortford shoppers order online anyway
