Flower Delivery to Sarratt with Clare Florist

Sarratt, a village in the county of Hertfordshire, is located in the southeast region of England. It sits just north of Rickmansworth, near the county border to Buckinghamshire. The River Chess passes just west of the village.

The village name derives from the Scandinavian word ‘swyra,’ meaning neck, col, or prominent short ridge. The village name transformed to ‘syre,’ an Old English word for dry place. Historical documents show the village name in various ways including Syreth, Sareth, Saret, Sereth, Seret, Saret, and Sarrett.

Sarratt’s church, Church of the Holy Cross, was built in the 12th century, reputedly using Roman tiles in its construction. There was for many years also a Baptist church within the village, but it has since closed and the building converted into private residences.

Sarratt has frequently been used as the backdrop for BBC television and film productions. It was also the fictional location of British foreign intelligence service training school in the early novels of John le Carre.

Sarratt’s location within the valley near the River Chess makes the land ideal for cultivating the crop of cress. The largest commercial cress farm in the county of Hertfordshire is located within Sarratt.
