Positioned in the thriving town of Hitchin, New Mercia will become an extremely sought-after address. The town itself can be described as the archetypal English market town. Originally a settlement in Roman times, first records of the town emerged in AD792 with the foundation of a religious house by King Offa of Mercia, the first King to lay claim to the whole of the British Isles as his kingdom. This house was to develop in time into Hitchin’s parish church, around which the town grew up. By medieval times Hitchin had become a thriving community and the resultant peace and prosperity encouraged growth into the picturesque compact market town of today, with many of the inns and courtyards of the past acting as charming reminders of bygone days.
