BERKHAMSTEAD’S WALLS ONCE SHELTERED MANY ROYAL HEAD  

•"pHE ancient market town of Berkhamstead, in Hertfordshire, 28 miles from  

London, is of Saxon origin, and its growth was due to fortified palace  

which was established here by the Kings of Mercia.  

William the Conqueror (1066-1087) stayed here after the Battle of  

Hastings.  

Berkhamstead Castle was of such importance that it invariably accom-  

panied every grant of an earldom. It was given by Henry II to Archbishop  

Thomas Becket. During the reign of King John (1199-1216) it was royal  

gift to his wife, Queen Isabella. In 1216 it was besieged by Louis, the  

Dauphin of France, who had come over to assist the discontented barons.  

The besieged held out until they were sent orders by the King to surrender.  

The Castle was later given to the second Queen of Edward I; it next belonged  

to Richard, Earl of Cornwall, who died here. Later still it was granted by  

King Edward II to his favourite, Piers Gaveston. Edward 111 (1327-1377)  

advanced his eldest son, Edward the Black Prince, to the title and dignity  

of Duke of Cornwall and gave him the Castle and Manor of Berkhamstead  

“to hold to him and the heirs of him and the eldest sons of the Kings of  

England.” At this time an illustrious prisoner, John, King of France, was  

held captive by the Black Prince in the Castle. The property has since  

descended from the Crown to the successive Princes of Wales as heirs to the  

throne and Dukes of Cornwall, under whom it has for the last three centuries  

been leased to different persons.  

In the 16th century Berkhamstead Castle declined in importance and  

fell into decay. It is now reduced to few massive fragments of wall which  

testify to the ancient strength and importance of the fortress. The walls,  

constructed of flint cemented together, are almost circular and enclose an  

area of eleven acres. It was defended on the north-east by double, and on  

the other side by triple, moats. The entrance to the castle was guarded by  

drawbridges over the moats which, even today, are wide and deep.  

William Cowper, the famous poet, who lived during the years 1731-1800,  

was born in the old rectory of Berkhamstead, and is commemorated by  

memorial window in the church.
