De Havilland Aircraft Heritage Centre<\/a> is an aviation museum located in London Colney<\/a>, Hertfordshire<\/a>, England. The aircraft museum along with the hall is indeed one of the oldest sites in the UK. It is situated relatively close to the ancient Roman Civilization city \u2018<\/span>Verulamium<\/b>\u2019 and St Albans, the late Saxon foundation town. In fact, the site is partially connected to the first century BC settlement of Wheathampstead<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

De Havilland Aircraft Heritage centre<\/a> was once a manor of Shenleybury in the 9<\/span>th<\/span> century. History reflects <\/span>Asgar the Stallar <\/b>as the owner of the mansion who was a high official to the Wessex King Egbert. The site of the museum had also witnessed several conquest and wars including the famous Norman conquest that resulted in the de Mandeville family, who looked after the place until <\/span>The Doomsday Book (1086) <\/b>was written. Three centuries later, <\/span>Sir John Montague (Earl of Salisbury)<\/a> <\/b>received the manor upon his marriage in 1380. From that time onwards, it received its name as \u2018<\/span>Salisbury Hall<\/b>\u2019. Following is a short historical timeline of the museum:<\/span><\/p>\n
