The historic Battle of Elstree

In the fifth century, British warlord Vortigern and his two sons, Vortimer and Catigern, took part in the Battle of Elstree, which was then called the Battle of Ailestreu, where the Saxon Horsa was killed. It is highly plausible there was confusion with the Battle of Aylesbury.

16th to18th centuries in Elstree

The Manor of Elstree was formerly included in the Manor of Parkbury and belonged to the Abbey of St. Albans. On the Dissolution of the Monasteries, it was granted by Henry VIII, to Anthony Denny.

In 1607, Anthony Denny's grandson Edward Denny sold part of the estate, with all manorial rights, to Robert Briscoe, who sold it the same year to Sir Baptist Hicks. Part of the estate became the Manor of Boreham and was sold to Edward Beauchamp. It remained with the Beauchamp-Proctor family until 1748, when it was sold to James West, M.P. for St. Albans, who, in or about 1751, alienated it to a Mr Gulston of Widdial. Gulston then sold it to a Mr Pigfatt, a gunsmith, who, within a few years, conveyed it to Thomas Jemmet. In 1774 it was purchased from Mr Jemmet by the late George Byng, M.P. for Middlesex, who passed it on to his son, by which time the estate was called the Manor of Boreham.

The parish of Elstree used to contain about three thousand acres of land, which was divided between arable and pasture in an equal proportion. The soil was and remains clay. Boreham Wood, used to measure seven hundred acres, and was enclosed in the year 1778.
