Berkhamsted was the favourite home of the Black Prince (as we know from Day #20) and the fact that his residence coincided with the peak of the development of the Longbow as a weapon of war gives Berkhamsted a special association with Archery.
These fields used to be directly connected with Berkhamsted Castle via Prince Edward Street because they were the town archery practice grounds. (Prince Edward Street is now a stub of a road between Victoria School and the High Street.) The meadows were formerly known as the Buttericks or the Buttfield. Berkhamsted men were still practising Archery in 1716, because it is known that in that year the Butts were repaired at the expense of the Parish.
