WHEMPSTEAD

Whempstead is a hamlet in the parish of Watton at Stone

Whempstead, a hamlet in the centre of the county, is not easily reached, being about 5 miles E. from Knebworth Station, G.N.R., and rather father N.W. from Ware. The so-called Whempstead Chapel, recently demolished, was a small cottage, but it undoubtedly stood near the site of an old chapel "founded and endowed about the beginning of the thirteenth century by the family of Aguillon".
