On Stevenage’s doorstep is a country house that has been the residence for the Lytton family since 1490. The theatrical Victorian Tudor Revival facade encloses a much older house, built from red brick and dating back to the 16th century. In the 1800s the house was home to Edward Bulwer-Lytton, the writer and politician who had a knack for a turn of...
There are 250 acres of rambling parkland in Knebworth’s grounds. You can take stately strolls along the lime and chestnut avenues, passing herds of sika and red deer that have grazed here since well before the 15th century. In music circles Knebworth is known for major rock shows given on the estate by bands like Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, The...
Laid out in the 1970s, Fairlands Valley Park is often voted among England’s favourite free attractions, and is a real asset to Stevenage on hot summer days. There’s 120 acres of parkland around a large lake, for a wealth of outdoor activities. The park has a water activity centre recognised as a training centre by the British Canoe Union and Royal ...
Stevenage’s town centre was England’s first traffic-free shopping zone, borrowed partly from Rotterdam’s Lijnbaan. Now, a scheme as radical as this will always divide opinion, but more than 70 years later it’s an important artefact of mid-20th-century urban planning, around a plaza with an iconic Modernist clock tower. The layout may not be idyllic...
The cathedral-like Church of St Andrew and St George is the largest parish church built in England since the Second World War. Take in the campanile, and the spacious, light-flooded interior with illuminated by an abstract stained glass window in the chancel. The compact but well-presented Stevenage Museum has been housed in the crypt since 1976 an...
The town goes dates back long before its 20th-century transformation and there’s a pretty fragment along the High Street to the northwest of the town centre. Stevenage was granted a royal charter to host a market in 1281, and there’s still an outdoor farmers’ market here on the High Street on the second Saturday of the month. Later it became a key ...
Stevenage’s only performing arts venue sits opposite the train station and opened in 1976. There are two auditoriums here: The smaller “Theatre”, which seats 500, and the 1,200-capacity Concert Hall. The Gordon Craig Theatre is a receiving theatre, which means that it stages mostly touring performers. This can be anything from opera to plays, dance...
On high ground over Old Stevenage, St Nicholas’ Church is the oldest building in the town. This Grade I-listed monument was built around the 1100s, while the current nave and chancel took shape over the next 200 years. There are nine centuries of craftsmanship within these walls, but one of the most noteworthy things is the amazing profusion of Med...
Found in a quiet residential zone to the northeast of the town centre, there’s a little more to this park than meets the eye. Hampson Park, named after 1932 Los Angeles Olympics gold medallist Thomas Hampson, used be part of the estate for Highfield House, centred on a Georgian mansion. When the Poston family lived there at the turn of the 20th cen...
Near Knebworth in the south of the town, Shephalbury Park is a well-appointed community park in 24 acres. There’s recreation for people of all ages, with a basketball court, tennis courts, football pitches, well-maintained children’s playground (inspected once a week) and bowling green and pavilion for older residents. For a gentle wander there’s a...
