Knebworth

Knebworth has two distinct areas of interest - the House and the village.  Of course the settlement was mentioned in the Domesday book, but the current village grew from the arrival of the railway, and the building of the station.  Knebworth House has been in the Lytton family since the 15th century, and now hosts many pop festivals and other events.
