A classic example of a Hertfordshire market town Baldock has a fascinating history. Founded by the Knights Templar in the twelfth century on the ancient Icknield Way at a location which had previously been settled in the Roman era & before Baldock retains its market & annual fair held by charter dating back to 1199 & contains a wealth of fine buildings. Through comparative views of Tudor timber framing to classically-proportioned Georgian frontages & the Art Deco magnificence of what is now a Tesco superstore Baldock Through Time takes a close look at a town that has not only alternately been known as a brewing centre & the location of the largest hosiery factory in the country but has also been bypassed twice in the space of forty years.
