What is recorded here
A named place photographed at this map point in East Hertfordshire.
A small island in the River Stort, April Island takes its name from the month traditionally associated with the area’s flooding patterns; it has historically been a seasonal feature, notable for its ecological value and as a local marker in the river landscape. Little is recorded about permanent habitation, but the surrounding Stort valley has been settled since at least the medieval period.
