Hitchin

Hitchin is a market town in the North Hertfordshire District in Hertfordshire, England, with an expected populace of 33,350. Hitchin is first noted as the focal place of the Hicce individuals, a clan holding 300 covers up of land as made reference to in a seventh century document, the Tribal Hidage. Hicce, or Hicca may mean the general population of the horse. The ancestral name is Old English and gets from the Middle Anglian people.

It has been proposed that Hitchin was the area of 'Clofeshoh', the place picked in 673 by Theodore of Tarsus the Archbishop of Canterbury amid the Synod of Hertford, the principal meeting of agents of the juvenile Christian houses of worship of Anglo-Saxon England, to hold yearly synods of the holy places as Theodore endeavored to combine and unify Christianity in England.

By 1086 Hitchin is portrayed as a Royal Manor in Domesday Book: the medieval administrations of Avera and Inward, typically found in the eastern provinces, particularly Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire, were expected from the sokemen, yet the estate of Hitchin was interesting in imposing Inward. Evidence has been found to recommend that the town was once given an earthen bank and jettison fortification, most likely in the mid tenth century yet this did not last. The advanced spelling 'Hitchin' first shows up in 1618 in the "Hertfordshire Feet of Fines".
