St Mary, Hatfield Broad Oak, Essex
I cycled on forestwards, and ahead of me on a hill suddenly appeared a dramatic church 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 the church. A magnificent building - despite it being in the Jenkins book I wasn't prepared for how splendid it is. It is just the former nave of a vast Benedictine church, bankrolled by the de Veres. The splendour of the interior is partly due to a multitude of 18th Century furnishings - there is a feel of a smaller, simpler Walpole St Peter - after which the most famous feature, the stone effigy of a de Vere as a crusading knight, comes as something of a disappointment. This is the kind of church you can't be alone in, and a couple of people I spoke to were very friendly. This was the first church of the day that I thought I really must come back to. And then I veered eastwards from the forest entering the emptiest and most remote area of Essex. No villages for miles, just hamlets, fields and the occasional farmstead.
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.

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.

David and Goliath, one of the panels in the stained glass window above the altar in the Chapel at Hatfield House.
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.

NOTE: Watch my flickr site for more views of this bus as under dubious circumstances it was exported to Canada in the late 1960s in pristine preserved condition only to be discovered near Toronto in 1974 in a derelict condition. It was rescued by the late Derrick Arnold but remained derelict. At the last moment in the 1990s, it was purchased and brought back to England by its new owner. It has been fully restored and is thought to reside in north-west England.
