In the 19th century, Stotfold was regarded as a wealthy place. The saying was that to live in Stotfold, one has to have £100 and a pig. The town is divided by a long road, High Street, which separates the north side from the south. There are two parks and a recreational ground, plus a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) and a football pitch.
Stotfold is thought to have gained its name from the northern drovers breaking their journey south at this point on the A1 Great North Road and penning their horses (stots) in enclosures (folds) before continuing their journeys southwards.
The River Ivel runs through the town. Stotfold covers 2,207 acres (8.93km2) and the population, according to the 2001 census, is 6,190.
The church of St Mary's dates back to Norman times.
Landmarks
Stotfold Watermill
Stotfold Watermill stands on the River Ivel and is one of four mills in Stotfold that were recorded in the Domesday Book. It is the only working mill left in Stotfold and is a grade II listed watermill. The Mill was fully restored after being burnt down on 15 December 1992. The Mill opened to the public in May 2006 with the formal opening taking place October 2006 followed shortly after by a visit from HRH The Duke of Edinburgh on 17 November 2006. It has a 4.4 metre wide overshot corn mill waterwheel which is the widest in the country and is currently open to the public with a tea room on alternate weekends in season (March to October) and on special event weekends. The Mill is a charity run by the Stotfold Mill Preservation Trust. All moneys raised are used for the continual upkeep and restoration of the Mill and of the local area. Its major fundraiser is the annual Stotfold Mill Steam and Country Fair which takes place in May and attracted around 8,500 visitors raising approximately £20,000 in 2010.

60163 Tornado & The Ebor Flyer 90mph run at Arlesey 1Z63 14/04/2018
A significant day for Steam locos in preservation especially for A1 4-6-2 no, 60163 Tornado as it did it's Ebor Flyer Railtour, the first public running at 90MPH for this locomotive. We see the run in this video passing Arlesey and I've heard reports of 87mph through here.
Unfortunately the tour ran into bother south of Sandy due to the failure of the Union link of the middle cylinder so I was lucky that I chose to see it at Arlesey
