Hatfield House, which is in in Hertfordshire, England, was built in 1611 by Robert Cecil, Earl of Salisbury and chief minister to king James I, and the Cecil family have lived there ever since.
The old palace of Hatfield stands nearby, built in 1497 by the Bishop of Ely, was confiscated by king Henry VIII, and became a favourite residence of Queen Elizabeth I. After Elizabeth's death, king James gave the palace to Robert Cecil, who then built the much larger building seen above!
Holy Trinity, Hatfield Heath, Essex
I must say, I was surprised to find this open. A Victorian church by Joseph Clarke, expanded by that man Pritchett and the Chelmsford vandal Chancellor later in the 19th Century. Rather pretty in its way, set in the middle of the common (it seemed too natural to call it a green) in a thicket of chestnut trees. Its virtue is its smallness I suppose.
Inside was warm and cosy with an odd little window by AL Wilkinson.
Then, I headed on forestwards, and ahead of me on a hill suddenly appeared a dramatic tower, the houses falling away below it, thickets of dark trees beyond. I climbed to a delightful village, its main street lined by grand 18th and 19th Century buildings, and a pub at each end. It reminded me of Dedham. Halfway between the pubs was Hatfield Broad Oak church.

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 .
