I know Rye House by the station and the stadium, but I've always wondered what the name originally referred to. Your informative post has made up for that little gap in my local knowledge! 
So, I'm assuming it's Broxbourne → Cheshunt tomorrow?

I thought the Rye House plot was about assassinating both Charles and James. It was alleged to be a plot against the possibility of James succeeding, not about restoring him to the succession (Charles had already thwarted his opponents' attempt to do so).

Actually I have been to Rye House, to watch the karting.

Glad to see a mention of Hoddesdon, even if only gazed at from afar.
If there's a reader out there who remembers the old Clarion Youth Hostel at Hoddesdon, I'd love to hear from you. You can email me at:

"Add it to the list of places you now know you haven't been."
I've been there. Stumbled across it when doing a walk along the Lea last year. Loved it.
