Henry VIII in Hertfordshire

Henry VIII’s dissolution of monasteries (1536-1541) had big consequences for Hertfordshire. Many monasteries, including lands owned by the abbeys of St. Albans and Waltham, were taken and sold to loyal nobles and their friends. This reshaped local landownership and increased the power of the nobility in Hertfordshire.

Former monastery lands were often repurposed, resulting in new agricultural practices. With wealthier people now owning land, many estates in Hertfordshire turned into sheep farming and creating enclosures, this disrupted traditional farming communities.

With Henry VIII’s creation of the Church of England, Hertfordshire, like the rest of England, experienced huge religious change. Churches were restructured to align with the new teachings, and the people of Hertfordshire were gradually exposed to Protestant teachings.
