*************

Loudwater is a village in Hertfordshire, England, near the border of the county with Buckinghamshire. It is on the north bank of the River Chess just to the east of Junction 18 of the M25 motorway, north of Rickmansworth. The name Loudwater is an old name for the River Chess.^[1] The 2001 population was 1,242,^[2] with, in 2002, nearly a quarter being millionaires, the highest concentration of any community in the United Kingdom.^[3]

Archaeological finds at Loudwater Farm of pottery, tiles and coins indicate that Loudwater was probably the site of a villa and water mill occupied by Germanic settlers in the 4th and 5th centuries CE.^[4]

Loudwater House in Loudwater, which had a park of 150 acres (60 ha),^[5] contained a pioneering central heating system in 1837.^[6] It was later occupied by Joseph d'Aguilar Samuda, MP.^[5] The house was converted into eleven flats in the mid-20th century.^[7]

In the mid-19th century a paper mill was established in Loudwater using new technology developed by George Tidcombe.^[8] The mill was still standing in 2008.^[9]

Rickmansworth is a small town in south-west Hertfordshire, England, situated approximately 20 miles (32 km) northwest of central London and inside the perimeter of the M25 motorway. The town is mainly to the north of the Grand Union Canal (formerly the Grand Junction Canal) and the River Colne. The nearest large town is Watford, approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) to the east. Rickmansworth is the administrative seat of the Three Rivers District Council, the local authority named from the confluence of three rivers within its borders. The River Gade and the Grand Union Canal join the upper River Colne near Rickmansworth's eastern boundary and are joined by the River Chess near the town centre from where the enlarged Colne flows south to form a major tributary of the River Thames.
