History

The parish of Boreham is ancient, and the village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Boreham.

In the 1930s Boreham House and 3000 acres (12 km2) of land surrounding it was bought by car magnate Henry Ford. In addition to using the house as a school for training Ford tractor mechanics, the company's British chairman, Lord Perry, established Fordson Estates Limited there and founded the Henry Ford Institute of Agricultural Engineering, an agricultural college which continues to occupy the house. The house also served as the temporary home for the National College of Agricultural Engineering in 1962. This moved to Silsoe, Bedfordshire as Silsoe College later joining with Cranfield University. The Silsoe campus closed at the end of 2007.

Boreham remained relatively small until the mid-1970s when a programme of house and shop building increased its size significantly.
