This is Hitchin, Britain in a nutshell.
Hitchin is a small town, even a ‘sleepy’ town, but has played a significant role in the history of education and medicine.
Hitchin dates from at least the eighth century AD, and is one of the oldest towns in the county. The town takes its name from the HICCA people, a tribe of Britons mentioned in the c.7th document the Tribal Hidage, which was a kind forerunner of the Domesday book. So, Hitchiners were not Anglo-Saxons, but indigenous Britons! How more British could Hitchin be?!
