Bishop's Stortford Residences

The church dates from the 12th century, but was largely demolished in 1863 and rebuilt in 1864. It originally consisted of the nave and chancel, and a south aisle was added followed by a small private Chapel on the north side. The north transept is 15th C. and the roof of the north transept and nave are also 15th century. There is also a fine choir screen from the same period. The north transept was built around 1400, and originally had stained-glass windows with ancient coats of arms including those of the donors the Bataille family. This area was later used by Lords of Battles Manor as their private Chapel. The Chapel contains a Memorial to Sir William Waad of Battles Hall, who was a notable diplomat and officer of state. He was Lieutenant of the Tower of London for eight years where some of his prisoners included Guy Fawkes and Sir Walter Raleigh. The chancel was rebuilt in 1746 by Henry Woodyer. The tower was demolished in 1863 as it was unsafe. The present tower contains six bells.

Top Bishop's Stortford Hotel Reviews

Clayton Hotel Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Room had character and was immaculate. Cos many cosy corners in the hotel, library vibe. "

Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice hotel, rooms were lovely , staff very nice and helpful and the breakfast was good, starting at 4am was perfect for us. It is a good 5 minute walk from the terminal which on a cold February morning wasn’t pleasant but ok. The other odd thing was the shower was warm , not hot but the water from the sink was hot. Not pleasant having a shower in warm water in February but other than that would stay again"

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing as always, the wine and coffee bar really make the evening experience snd the cheese and charcuterie boards are recommended along with the cheapest but nicest (in my opinion!) glass of red - the organic Garnacha modern style. Can’t wait to come back! The one bed apartment is great as whilst the bedroom is compact, the separation between living space is much welcomed: "
