Bishop's Stortford, Market town and administrative division in East Hertfordshire, England.
Bishop's Stortford spans across both sides of the River Stort, positioned 22 miles northeast of London near Stansted Airport and the M11 motorway.
The settlement received its name after the Bishop of London acquired the manor and estate in 1060, leading to the construction of Waytemore Castle in 1086.
South Mill Arts functions as the central cultural venue, incorporating a theater, cinema, and museum that presents local history exhibitions throughout the year.
The town operates under three governmental tiers: town council, district council, and county council, managing local services and community development initiatives.
The Stort Navigation, opened in 1769, transformed Bishop's Stortford into a major grain distribution center between London and Cambridge.
