Mark O. Hatfield is perhaps Oregon's most celebrated Senator (now retired). I had the pleasure to meet the gentleman several times and found him to be intelligent and highly personal.
As a student at Willamette University Mark Hatfield dated my wife's aunt who, I think, had designs on becoming Mrs. Hatfield one day, but it was not to be. My wife once asked Mr. Hatfield if he remembered her aunt. He raised his eyebrows, smiled and said, "Oh, yes. I remember her well." She was quite the beauty.

Hatfield House was built by Robert Cecil, the 1st Earl of Salisbury, between 1607-1611. The house has been in the Cecil family for over 400 years and remains the home of the current 7th Marquess.
Hatfield House
Old Palace
The Old Palace was built in about 1485 by the Bishop of Ely, John Morton. It is one of the foremost examples of medieval brickwork in the country and originally formed a quadrangle around a central courtyard.
The remaining wing contains the Banqueting Hall, with most of its original roof timbers. Many of them are peppered with gunshot, apparently because sparrows flew in and were shot at when the building was later used as stables!
Henry VIII acquired the Palace from the Bishop of Ely in 1538 and used it as a nursery for his three children. It is with Elizabeth that the Palace is most closely associated. She had a happy childhood here, sharing in her brother Edward’s education. Circumstances changed for Elizabeth when Queen Mary came to the throne in 1553, for Mary feared that her enemies might plot to place her protestant sister on the throne. Effectively Elizabeth was kept under house arrest at Hatfield.
In 1558 Elizabeth was sitting under an oak tree in the Park when she learnt of her succession to the throne. One of her first acts was to call her trusted advisers, including William Cecil, later Lord Burghley, together for her first Council of State which was held in the Banqueting Hall of the Palace.
In 1607 King James I exchanged the Palace at Hatfield for Theobalds, the home of Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury. Robert Cecil demolished three-quarters of the original building. The remaining wing survived as the stables for Hatfield House for the next three centuries, until it was restored by the 4th Marquess in 1915.

Soon to be Britain's last remaining deep colliery after the closures of Kellingley and Thoresby at the end of this year, sad really... She's still looking great though with those two classic colliery headstocks. Although there are no current plans to close Hatfield as yet, I'd still say grab your pics now whilst you can if you want them!
Last day of production was in fact yesterday, just got news, very sad! Guess I was lucky to accidentally catch her on her last day of production! :(

Hatfield House
The home of the 7th Marquess and Marchioness of Salisbury and their family.
The Estate has been in the Cecil family for 400 years.
In 1611, Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury, and the son of Lord Burghley, the chief minister of Elizabeth I built this fine Jacobean House adjoining the site of the Old Palace of Hatfield.
The deer park surrounding the house, and the older building of the Old Palace, had been owned Henry VIII who had used it as a home for his children, Edward, Elizabeth and Mary. It was while she was living in the Old Palace, in 1558, that Elizabeth learned of her accession to the throne.
The House was splendidly decorated for entertaining the Royal Court, with State Rooms rich in paintings, fine furniture and tapestries.
Superb examples of Jacobean craftsmanship, such as the Grand Staircase with its fine carving, and the rare stained glass window in the private chapel can be seen throughout the house .

The Chapel
The Chapel, consecrated in 1614, is still in regular use as a place of worship.
The stained glass window, showing Old Testament scenes, was made in 1610 by the glass-painters Richard Butler of Southwark, ‘Lewis Dolphin, a French painter’ (probably Louis Dauphin) and Martin van Bentheim of Emden, Holland.
