A medieval market town with deep Norman heritage, Bishop's Stortford developed around a ford on the River Stort alongside Waytemore Castle, whose motte still stands within Castle Park at the town's heart.
Bishop's Stortford railway station, on the West Anglia Main Line, connects the town to London Liverpool Street in around 45 minutes. Maze Green and Windhill are among the most sought-after neighbourhoods for primary school catchments, while the central town, Hockerill, Thorley, and Elsenham form residential areas extending toward the Essex border. Around 41,000 people call the parish home.
