In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described St Margarets like this:
MARGARET (ST.), or STREET, a hamlet in Ivinghoe parish, Bucks; on Icknield-street, 1 mile NW of Great Gaddesden, and 6 SE of Ivinghoe. A Benedictine nunnery was founded here in 1160, by Henry de Blois, bishop of Winchester.
St Margarets is now part of DACORUM District. Click here for graphs and data of how DACORUM has changed over two centuries. For statistics about St Margarets itself, go to Statistics.
