Exploring Hitchin.....

Tuesday 22nd September 2015

We've found ourselves in Hitchin again as our Adria is having a new cupboard door fitted.






As a treat we booked ourselves overnight in The Hitchin Priory a
14 C building, formerly a Carmelite Monastery.

The building was requisitioned by Henry the V111 and given to the Radcliffe family.
Double aspect room with french doors

Hitchin Priory has 19 acres of parkland, only 2 minutes to the town




Hitchin market town grew wealthy on grain, sheep, cattle, cloth-making, brewing, tanning and associated trades. 

Hitchin has retained many of the ancient houses 

When walking around the town there was an abundance of eating places, over 50 we were told. The one we chose offered a very relaxed ambience and a delicious meal.
