It had a population of 25,328 in the 2011 census, rising to 28,416 in the 2021 census, an increase of 12.19%. This makes Bushey the second most populated town in Hertsmere. <b>Bushey Heath</b> is a large neighbourhood south east of Bushey on the boundary with the <a href="London_Borough_of_Harrow" title="London Borough of Harrow">London Borough of Harrow</a> reaching elevations of 165 metres (541 ft) above sea level.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Etymology">Etymology</h2></div>

<p>Bushey is first attested in the <a href="Domesday_Book" title="Domesday Book">Domesday Book</a> of 1086 in the form <i>Bissei</i>. Although there has been some debate,<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> modern, scholarly commentary has concluded that the name originated as a <a href="Compound_noun" class="mw-redirect" title="Compound noun">compound</a> of the <a href="Old_English" title="Old English">Old English</a> words <i>bysc</i> ('bush, thicket') and <i>hæg</i> ('enclosure'). Thus it once meant 'enclosure made of bushes'.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>The first written record of Bushey is its entry in the <a href="Domesday_Book" title="Domesday Book">Domesday Book</a> of 1086, which describes a small agricultural village named 'Bissei' (which later became 'Biss(h)e' and then 'Bisheye' during the 12th century). However, chance archaeological findings of <a href="Stone_Age" title="Stone Age">Stone Age</a> tools provide evidence that the area was inhabited as far back as the <a href="Palaeolithic" class="mw-redirect" title="Palaeolithic">Palaeolithic</a> period. The town also has links to the <a href="Roman_Britain" title="Roman Britain">Roman occupation of Britain</a>, with the main road running through it being Roman; sites of possible Roman villas being unearthed in the area; and a Roman tessellated pavement was discovered near Chiltern Avenue.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<p>Bushey Heath's story begins in the <a href="Napoleonic_Wars" title="Napoleonic Wars">Napoleonic Wars</a> during a large food shortage. To help solve the problem, the government awarded the waste land to the east of Bushey to Bushey landowners to be used as farming; the land was more generally known as Bushey Common. Whilst the original aim was to produce food, being close to a railway and up to 500 ft above sea level with beautiful and broad views made the area attractive for housing developers.

</p><p>The 19th and 20th centuries marked the time of most change in Bushey, especially between 1860 and 1960. The population rose 28-fold within 200 years, from 856 in 1801, to just under 24,000 today. The expansion was for many reasons, one of the main ones being due to the boom in industry caused by the railway in the early 20th century. A result was that many new jobs were created in and around <a href="Watford" title="Watford">Watford</a>, and in the early 1920s, Bushey's first council houses were built. More housing was later built for the service families working in defence organisations in <a href="Stanmore" title="Stanmore">Stanmore</a> and <a href="Northwood%2C_London" title="Northwood, London">Northwood</a>. The expansion eventually died down because much of the land in and around Bushey was protected under the <a href="Metropolitan_Green_Belt" title="Metropolitan Green Belt">Metropolitan Green Belt</a> after the <a href="Second_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Second World War">Second World War</a>.

</p><p>This same Green Belt legislation was also partly responsible for the abandonment of the pre-war <a href="Edgware_tube_station" title="Edgware tube station">Edgware</a> to <a href="Bushey_Heath_tube_station" title="Bushey Heath tube station">Bushey Heath</a> extension as part of the <a href="Northern_line#The_Northern_Heights_plan" title="Northern line">Northern Heights</a> programme of the <a href="Northern_line" title="Northern line">Northern line</a> underground railway. The <a href="Metropolitan_Green_Belt" title="Metropolitan Green Belt">Metropolitan Green Belt</a> put great restrictions on new development, and the plan had been to use the new railway to stimulate new housing around the new route; without the new housing the route was deemed no longer viable. However, as work was advanced at the onset of war, the depot was completed for use as bomber manufacture, and following the Second World War and Green Belt coming into force, it was converted into the <a href="Aldenham" title="Aldenham">Aldenham</a> bus depot (of <a href="Cliff_Richard" title="Cliff Richard">Cliff Richard</a>'s <i><a href="Summer_Holiday_(1963_film)" title="Summer Holiday (1963 film)">Summer Holiday</a></i> fame), which it remained until 1985, when it became derelict. It was redeveloped in 1996 and is now the Centennial Park Industrial Estate (<span class="geo-inline"><span class=" nourlexpansion"><a class="external text" href="geo:51.639954,-0.308561"><span class="geo-nondefault"><span class="geo-dms" title="Maps, aerial photos, and other data for this location"><span class="latitude">51°38′24″N</span> <span class="longitude">0°18′31″W</span></span></span><span class="geo-multi-punct"> / </span><span class="geo-default"><span class="geo-dec" title="Maps, aerial photos, and other data for this location">51.639954°N 0.308561°W</span><span style="display:none"> / <span class="geo">51.639954; -0.308561</span></span></span></a></span></span>). <a href="Bushey_Heath_tube_station" title="Bushey Heath tube station">Bushey Heath station</a> would have been located at the intersection of Elstree Road and <a href="A41_road" title="A41 road">Northwestern Avenue</a> (<span class="geo-inline"><span class=" nourlexpansion"><a class="external text" href="geo:51.64245,-0.32"><span class="geo-nondefault"><span class="geo-dms" title="Maps, aerial photos, and other data for this location"><span class="latitude">51°38′33″N</span> <span class="longitude">0°19′12″W</span></span></span><span class="geo-multi-punct"> / </span><span class="geo-default"><span class="geo-dec" title="Maps, aerial photos, and other data for this location">51.64245°N 0.3200°W</span><span style="display:none"> / <span class="geo">51.64245; -0.3200</span></span></span></a></span></span>). Conceptual plans existed in the 1903 <a href="Act_of_Parliament" class="mw-redirect" title="Act of Parliament">Act of Parliament</a> for an <a href="Edgware" title="Edgware">Edgware</a> to <a href="Watford" title="Watford">Watford</a> railway that would have seen the railway extended at a later date though Bushey village and on to Watford market, but even less came of that than the partially completed <a href="Edgware_tube_station" title="Edgware tube station">Edgware</a> to <a href="Bushey_Heath_tube_station" title="Bushey Heath tube station">Bushey Heath</a> stretch. In the 1830s, the <a href="London_and_Birmingham_Railway" title="London and Birmingham Railway">London and Birmingham Railway</a> cut through the area between London and Watford though it did not initially serve Bushey. The railway passes to the north west of the town and crosses <a href="Bushey_Arches_Viaduct" title="Bushey Arches Viaduct">Bushey Arches Viaduct</a>, an original feature dating from 1837.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>The highest point in the historic county of <a href="Middlesex" title="Middlesex">Middlesex</a> was in Bushey Heath on the border between Hertfordshire and Middlesex at the junction of the A4140 and the A409. At 153 m (502 ft) above sea level, the grid reference was TQ 152937.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Stories,_legends_and_folklore">Stories, legends and folklore</h3></div>

<p>The lack of farming in Bushey Heath meant that it was a heavily wooded area up to the 18th century; this, added to the lack of street lighting and police, meant that Bushey Heath's history is full of tales of thieves, highwaymen and even murder. According to Grant Longman's <i>Robberies on Bushey Heath</i>, the road from Bushey Heath to <a href="Stanmore" title="Stanmore">Stanmore</a> is said to be where the highwaymen lurked, ready to raid the dozen or so caravans that passed through Bushey Heath daily, carrying money from trade in London. Before venturing through the pass, parties of travellers and merchants would form at the <i>Boot Inn</i> at <a href="Edgware" title="Edgware">Edgware</a> and the <i>Three Crowns</i> at Bushey Heath so they did not have to venture through the pass alone. Although one of the highwaymen responsible for the attacks is rumoured to have been the notorious <a href="Dick_Turpin" title="Dick Turpin">Dick Turpin</a>, evidence suggests that he was in fact more active in the region of <a href="Essex" title="Essex">Essex</a>.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Governance">Governance</h2></div>

<p>Bushey has two tiers of local government, at district and county level: <a href="Hertsmere_Borough_Council" class="mw-redirect" title="Hertsmere Borough Council">Hertsmere Borough Council</a> and <a href="Hertfordshire_County_Council" title="Hertfordshire County Council">Hertfordshire County Council</a>. There is no parish or town council in Bushey, which has been an <a href="Unparished_area" title="Unparished area">unparished area</a> since 1974.

<p>Historically, Bushey was a parish in the <a href="Hundred_(county_division)" title="Hundred (county division)">hundred</a> of <a href="List_of_hundreds_of_England" title="List of hundreds of England">Dacorum</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Bushey was included in the <a href="Watford" title="Watford">Watford</a> <a href="Poor_Law_Union" class="mw-redirect" title="Poor Law Union">Poor Law Union</a> from 1835.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> When the Watford <a href="Local_Board_of_Health" class="mw-redirect" title="Local Board of Health">Local Board of Health</a> was established in 1850, its territory included a part of the parish of Bushey where the urban area of Watford crossed the parish boundary.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Under the <a href="Local_Government_Act_1894" title="Local Government Act 1894">Local Government Act 1894</a> the Watford Local Board became Watford <a href="Urban_district_(Great_Britain_and_Ireland)" class="mw-redirect" title="Urban district (Great Britain and Ireland)">Urban District</a>, and parishes that straddled urban district boundaries were divided. Bushey parish was therefore split with effect from 4 December 1894 into two parishes: "Bushey Urban" for the part of the parish within Watford Urban District and "Bushey Rural" for the remainder. Bushey Urban did not have its own parish council, being governed directly by Watford Urban District Council. Bushey Rural Parish Council held its first meeting on 2 January 1895 at Merry Hill School, with Edward Fithian being appointed the first chairman of the parish council.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The parish of Bushey Rural was included in the <a href="Watford_Rural_District" title="Watford Rural District">Watford Rural District</a>.

</p><p>On 1 April 1906 the parish of Bushey Rural was renamed "Bushey" and was made an urban district, independent of the Watford Rural District. To avoid confusion, the separate parish of "Bushey Urban" within Watford Urban District was renamed "<a href="Oxhey" title="Oxhey">Oxhey</a>" on the same day.<sup id="cite_ref-vision_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-vision-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The first meeting of Bushey Urban District Council was held on 16 April 1906 at Merry Hill School, with Richard Prowse being appointed the first chairman.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The council built itself new offices and a fire station on Rudolph Road in Bushey, which were completed in 1909.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Bushey Urban District was abolished under the <a href="Local_Government_Act_1972" title="Local Government Act 1972">Local Government Act 1972</a>, becoming part of the <a href="Non-metropolitan_district" title="Non-metropolitan district">district</a> of <a href="Hertsmere" title="Hertsmere">Hertsmere</a> on 1 April 1974. No <a href="Successor_parish" title="Successor parish">successor parish</a> was created for Bushey, and so it became an unparished area. The council's former offices on Rudolph Road later became <a href="Bushey_Museum_%26_Art_Gallery" title="Bushey Museum & Art Gallery">Bushey Museum & Art Gallery</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Herkomer's_Art_School">Herkomer's Art School</h2></div>

<p>Hubert Herkomer was a poor immigrant from <a href="Bavaria" title="Bavaria">Bavaria</a>, who grew up in Southampton and studied art in London before moving to Bushey in 1874. His painting and portraits earned him fame and fortune, and he died in 1914 as <a href="Hubert_von_Herkomer" title="Hubert von Herkomer">Sir Hubert von Herkomer</a> <a href="Royal_Academy" class="mw-redirect" title="Royal Academy">RA</a> <a href="Royal_Victorian_Order" title="Royal Victorian Order">CVO</a>. Herkomer had visited a friend who lived in Bushey in 1873, and returned to rent a pair of cottages and a studio near Melbourne Road. He founded Herkomer's Art School at Bushey in 1883, which, in its 21-year life, attracted some 500 students to the area, including the miniaturist <a href="Elsie_Higgins" title="Elsie Higgins">Elsie Higgins</a>. Some of those students stayed after establishing their own studios. Their paintings are on display in the <a href="Bushey_Museum" class="mw-redirect" title="Bushey Museum">Bushey Museum</a>. A street, Herkomer Road, was named in his memory.

</p><p>At around 1888, he built <a href="Lululaund" title="Lululaund">Lululaund</a> (<span class="geo-inline"><span class=" nourlexpansion"><a class="external text" href="geo:51.643908,-0.36065"><span class="geo-nondefault"><span class="geo-dms" title="Maps, aerial photos, and other data for this location"><span class="latitude">51°38′38″N</span> <span class="longitude">0°21′38″W</span></span></span><span class="geo-multi-punct"> / </span><span class="geo-default"><span class="geo-dec" title="Maps, aerial photos, and other data for this location">51.643908°N 0.36065°W</span><span style="display:none"> / <span class="geo">51.643908; -0.36065</span></span></span></a></span></span>), a 'Bavarian castle', which was named after his second wife Lulu Griffiths. After being married for only a year she died. Lululaund dominated the Bushey skyline until 1939 when it was almost entirely demolished; a lot of the building was used as hardcore for <a href="RAF_Bovingdon" title="RAF Bovingdon">Bovingdon Airfield</a>, and much of the woodwork and carvings from the castle were burnt.

</p><p>In 2014 the surviving remnant of Lululaund was converted into luxury apartments.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Sir Hubert is mainly remembered as an artist today, but in his time he was a polymath, becoming involved in some of the earliest film productions in Europe, and starting a series of races and time trials for cars in Germany.

</p><p>In 1904 Herkomer closed his school and sold the building. The school was re-opened in 1905 on the same site by the artist <a href="Lucy_Kemp-Welch" title="Lucy Kemp-Welch">Lucy Kemp-Welch</a> as the Bushey School of Painting. In 1912 Herkomer bought back the school building and demolished it. A <a href="Bushey_Rose_Garden" title="Bushey Rose Garden">rose garden</a> was laid out on the site to a design by <a href="T.H._Mawson" class="mw-redirect" title="T.H. Mawson">T.H.

</p><p>There is a gallery named after Kemp-Welch close to the village church.

Johnstone's <i>The Place-Names of England and Wales</i> (London: Murray, 1915) states that it may have meant "Byssa's Isle", and that it started life as a lake-village surrounded by marshes, streams and lakes. It has also been suggested that the name was influenced by Old French <i>boisseie</i>, meaning a 'place covered with wood'. The latter theory could prove more apt, as the town is located in the valleys which extend southwards from the <a href="Chiltern_Hills" title="Chiltern Hills">Chiltern Hills</a>, which were once covered in dense forests of <a href="Oak" title="Oak">oak</a>, <a href="Elm" title="Elm">elm</a>, <a href="Fraxinus" title="Fraxinus">ash</a>, <a href="Hazel" title="Hazel">hazel</a> and <a href="Juniper" title="Juniper">juniper</a>.</span>
