The earliest written reference to Berkhamsted is in 970 AD. Berkhamsted was recorded as a "burbium" (an ancient borough) in the Domesday Book in 1086.

9. | Elizabeth Saunders was christened on 20 Dec 1584 in Lydeard St Lawrence, Somersetshire, England (daughter of Living and Living); died on 7 Jul 1655 in Windsor, Connecticut Colony. Notes: [Henry's] widow survived him about five weeks; she died July 7 [1655], and her will, dated July 5, is attested by her mark. The explanation of this, which we find in one of our old manuscripts, is unquestionably authentic: "Their wills were made just before their deaths, and Mrs. Wolcott, not being well enough to write her name, only made her mark."
