Wikipedia description:
Flamstead is a village and civil parish in north-west Hertfordshire, England, near the junction of the A5 and the M1 motorway (junction 9). At the 2021 Census, the parish had a population of 1,551. The name is thought by some historians to derive from Verulamstead. The village stands on a ridge above the River Ver, which runs along its northern side; to the south it extends downhill towards the adjoining hamlet of Trowley Bottom. Flamstead was first recorded in 1006 and appears in the Domesday Book of 1086. In the Middle Ages it was sufficiently significant to hold a market and fair. It is now primarily a dormitory village for nearby towns, with local bus connections providing access to surrounding areas.
