'Hertford is both fascinating and unique. Whether it's as temporary home to both Church and Parliament, acting as home to a Castle and the confluence of four rivers, or the development of its County role, Hertford's history always deserves closer inspection.'
Mark Prisk, MP for Hertford and Stortford.
