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
