People were living in North Hertfordshire during a warm part of the Ice Age were hunters and they left when the temperature became cooler. Then a great deal of changes took place during the next twelve thousand years. One of those changes was the arrival of modern humans as the ice melted.

People in this area were hunter gatherers. The earliest farmers began to clear the forests and made substantial changes to the landscape the land began to be divided up into fields.The Roman conquest opened up opportunities for more people to prosper and numerous farmsteads and hamlets developed in the district. Some farms developed into wealthy Roman villa estates.

In the fifth century, the Roman Empire gave up control of Britain, which was left to fend for itself. Shortly afterwards raiders from north Germany and Scandinavia began to settle and they established new communities.

There is little sign that the local population was badly affected by the Viking raids of the ninth and tenth centuries and by 1066, the Norman Conquest the district was a prosperous farming area with important market towns. Castles were built in a number of villages during the twelfth century and later new towns appeared.

During the fourteenth century a third of the population were killed by the Black Death, but at the same time people became more prosperous as local lords began to pay wages to keep their workers.

Today, North Hertfordshire remains an area of small towns, villages and countryside and it has about a third of all the known archaeological sites in Hertfordshire and one particular piece of historical interest is The Royston Tapestry, which can be seen at The Royston Museum. A fund for the Tapestry was launched in 1991, with donations from members of the public and some local organisations. The designs have been the work of two artists: Danni Kaye who drew the first five scenes, and Martin Kaszak, who has produced the remaining drawings up to and including the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The embroiderers are members of the staff and public.

The Tapestry is really embroidery in the manner of the Bayeux Tapestry; worked in crewel wool on a continuous length of linen, it will be 110 feet long when completed.
