4 elcome to Ashwell anding in the picturesque village of Ashwell, with its timbered housefronts, traditional ambience and lively community life, it s hard to believe that the centre of London is just 45 miles away. Just a few yards from the east end of the village s High reet, is a small group of delightful two and three bedroom homes that combine modern energy efficient design with an opportunity to put down roots in peaceful rural surroundings. Local Roots The history of Ashwell is reflected in its fascinating mixture of architecture, including a fourteenth century parish church adorned with medieval graffiti, some of it relating to the arrival of the plague in the village around the year The many other notable buildings include a sixteenth century town house that is now a small museum. One local curiosity is of particular interest: a field near the new homes, used for drying medicinal herbs, had a gate inscribed with a selection of arcane Latin phrases. Known as the, it gives its name to the development. Shopping Shops in and around Ashwell High reet include a pharmacist, a Post Office, a butcher, a convenience store and a gift gallery. There is also a petrol station less than quarter of a mile away. High street retailers and supermarkets can be found in Biggleswade, Letchworth and Royston, all within five miles of Ashwell. Recycling Facilities North Hertfordshire Council operates a household collection service for most waste recycling. There are also bins for bottles and cans at Ashwell Garage, around 350 yards away, and recycling sites for larger items like white goods and electronics at Biggleswade, Royston and Letchworth. Education & Health Ashwell Primary, a community school with a dedicated music room and a heated swimming pool, is a pleasant half-mile walk from Philosopher s Gate. From there, children normally move on to the Knights Templar School in Baldock, consistently rated in the top 10% of the country s secondaries. The local medical practice operates a part time surgery in the village, and there is a dentist in the High reet. Transport The village is served by Ashwell and Morden Railway ation, a mile and a quarter from, with journey times of around 45 minutes to London King s Cross and approximately 28 minutes to Cambridge. Buses linking Royston with Letchworth pass by the station and the development, and junction 10 of the A1(M) is just over four miles away.
