Long Description:'Grab-All Row' was the name given to the row of shops between the
Market House and St Peter's church (opposite the row of three inns)
which were built in the old market square. As mentioned with the
Monks House, viniculture was a major Berkhamsted harvest which is
mentioned in the Domesday Book.
'Grab-All Row' is the line of buildings starting from the building
in the back towards the Town hall and occupies the area that was
once the town's market. There is a cobbled way in front of the
Court House leading out .This is variously called 'Back Lane' or
'Church Lane', dependent upon your personal experience and history
of the town!
