Thundridge Wadesmill High Cross Combined population is approx. 1079
-------------------------------------------
The land is formed in part from two manorial estates, centred on Standon and Thundridge, recorded in the Domesday survey of 1087. These were broken up in the later Middle Ages to form smaller estates such as Sutes Manor and Thundridge-bury.
------------------------------------------
We are not all villages strictly speaking, Wadesmill is Hamlet!, Thundridge Village is only 150 years old and High Cross is 161 years old?
------------------------------------------
Ermine Street should not be confused with Ermin Street, the road from Silchester to Gloucester.
Ermine Street is the Anglo-Saxon name of a major Roman road in England that ran from London (Londinium) to Lincoln (Lindum Colonia) and York (Eboracum). It was named after a tribe called the Earningas, who inhabited a district later known as Armingford Hundred, around Arrington,Cambridgeshire and Royston, Hertfordshire. The Anglo-Saxon name was 'Earninga Straete' (1012). 'Armingford', 'Arrington' and 'Ermine Street' are names that share the same Anglo-Saxon origin. It is also known as the Old North Road from London to where it joins the A1 Great North Road near Godmanchester.
