The parish of Thorley lays to the south-west of Bishops Stortford. Archaeologists have revealed evidence from the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Age periods, as well as many items from the time when the area was a marginal settlement of the Romans. There are various explanations as to the name Thorley, any one of which could be valid. Its original name, Torlei, is said to stem from the Celtic word Tor, meaning stoney hill, and lei, meaning meadow or pasture. It was indeed referred to as such in the Domesday Book of 1086, but the Normans apparently had great difficulty in pronouncing the letter h, and so possibly omitted it from their spelling of the word, which may well have been Thorlei.
The area's population remained fairly static between 1801 and 1971, the figures being 269 and 268 respectively. But by the 1970s Thorley began to accommodate countless new housing developments, which by the end of the 20th century had helped boost Bishops Stortfords population to over 35,000.
Thorley Wood is now about one tenth the size of the medieval forest, and nearby Mathams Wood , once part of the park granted to John Leventhorpe in the 15th century, it still has the remains of a Second World War airfield skirting its northern edge. The area had been used as a small airfield during the First World War and in June 1940 was chosen by Wing Commander A.J.W. Geddes as a suitable landing ground for No2 (Army Co-operation) Squadron.
The last time Mathams Wood was in the news was in 1966 when it was the hiding place of the notorious criminal Harry Roberts, who went on the run after murdering three policemen in West London. His knowledge of Thorley stemmed from the war years when he was sent here as a child evacuee, but after being at large for 95 days he was finally captured in a cattle food store at nearby Blounts Farm. He is currently still serving his prison sentence.
