Welcome to Walkern

Walkern is a pretty Hertfordshire village just over two miles from Stevenage. Legend has it that its site by the River Beane was chosen by the Devil, who nightly moved building materials intended for a church from nearby Boxbury. Indeed, his cries of 'walk on, walk on!' are reputed to be the basis of the village's name. Walkern was also the home of the last person to be convicted in England of witchcraft in 1711, although Jane Wenham did receive a Queen's Pardon and went on to live another day.
