	Haverhill UK - The History of Haverhill
		In the next three centuries, Roman villas and other settlements flourished at Castle Camps, Haverhill, Ridgewell and Wixoe, and a Roman cemetery was discovered at Withersfield in the eighteenth century.
		The River Stour was apparently navigable as far as Wixoe, and the main road through Cambridge, the Via Devana which originated in Chester, definitely went as far as Withersfield, and may have gone on through Haverhill to Colchester.
		After the Roman's departure in 410, the history of Haverhill is obscure for the next 500 years, though many theories have been advanced, usually with little credibility.

	Leicester Chronicler - Green Bicycle Murder
		The murder of Bella Wright from Stoughton, on a quiet country lane in south Leicestershire in June 1920 has become one of the area's most celebrated unsolved crimes, largely due to the unexpected acquittal of the chief suspect, former schoolteacher and soldier, Ronald Light.
		The location of the murder was a field entrance off the Via Devana, the ancient Roman Gartree Road, near to its junction with the lane that leads into the small village of Little Stretton.
		It is to be noted that the route Light claimed he followed would also have been Bella's quickest route home, but the young woman apparently chose instead to take a more circuitous route.

	Haverhill From the Iron Age to 1899
		How long after the Romans left before the Anglo-Saxons began to settle is not, as yet, possible to determine, but we do know where they started; not on the more agreeable south-eastern slope of the main valley, but at the head of the smaller one.
		The old Roman road, later called the Via Devana, had by this time probably been diverted to the extent that it ran along Queen Street and High Street.
		The stage coach to London, via Saffron Walden and Bishops Stortford was the "Telegraph" which left the Bell Hotel on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
