🛑 Chipping, Hertfordshire

Chipping is a hamlet and former market town in the civil parish of Buckland and Chipping in the East Hertfordshire district of Hertfordshire, England. Situated along the A10 road, which follows the course of the Roman Ermine Street, Chipping was an early attempt at a planted town designed to support the establishment of a market at the crossing of the River Rib and Ermine Street. It formally held town status after being granted a royal charter by King Henry III in 1252.
