The 700th anniversary of the consecration of St Peter’s Church is commemorated with a historical pageant in the grounds of Berkhamsted Castle. Parishioners dress up in historical costumes and put on a play, telling the story of Berkhamsted. A short choral piece is specially composed for the event by Gilbert Hudson and Stanley Wilson, entitled A Song of Berkhamsted. Performances run Wednesday 5 to Saturday 8 July 1922. It rains nearly every day.
