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 Library
The Library houses an extensive collection of more than 10,000 volumes, dating from the 16th century to the present day.
The room occupies the site of the original Great and Withdrawing Chambers on the west side of the House. In contrast, the rooms on the east side were reserved for the King.
The Library was formed in about 1782, when the dividing wall between the two rooms was removed. The rebuilt chimneypiece incorporates a remarkable mosaic portrait of Robert Cecil which was made in Venice and presented as a gift to him in 1608.
Most of the chairs were made for the room in 1782 and have only recently been recovered in Nigerian goatskin to match the original crimson leather.
The windows overlook the West Garden and the Old Palace. The cast-iron rails of the balcony were supplied from Paris in 1875.

Detail from early Edwardian stained glass in St Etheldreda's parish church, Hatfield, Herts. This is St Alban, from a larger regimental window. Alban was a Roman soldier and is venerated as the first British martyr and saint. The window dates from 1904, although the artists are unknown.
It was a lot more open at Stainforth when this was taken and of course you could wander around without any problems. August, 87.

Classic Reading Railroad signal, (check), classic old G.E. still in her original Conrail blue, (check), so, what's missing? Where's the train? I'll be back to try it again, for certain.
I was feeling pretty lucky with this GBW train #2 as I followed it near Hatfield. I had been following along since Arcadia and despite the increasing clouds I kept getting him in the sun. Add in that an RS27 was on the point, one of only two left on the raster and it was shaping up as a good day. My luck ran out about 2 miles east of this shot when I piled into a deer at about 60mph with my Ford pick up while trying to get ahead for more shots. You haven't lived until you needed to rent a car out in the sticks near Hatfield Wisconsin:). In retrospect I should have broke off the chase right here as the light was getting bad and would get worse the farther east he got and the later in the day it became but I was greedy when it came to Alco's. 318, 320 and 309 roar east on July 20, 1992. At least I had a good reason to come back to get my repaired truck a few weeks later! As if the Alco's weren't reason enough!

All around the sound of water dripping on dead bracken as the frost on the trees melted in the soft winter sunlight....The occasional rustle as Roe deer realise my presence and take off...they always look back....apart from this all is quiet,...close to silence.
Soon after the death of the Hatfield family patriarch in 1921, his surviving children commissioned a live-size sculptured statue and monument for their father's grave. Photographs and physical descriptive data were sent to a sculpturing firm in Italy which executed the life-size figure of "Devil Anse", in Carrara marble, that has marked his final resting place since 1926.
Devil Anse was the patriarch leader during the Hatfield-McCoy feud. His family and Randolph McCoy's fought in one of the bloodiest and most well-known feuds in American history

With the now, sadly closed Hatfield Colliery in the distance, EWS liveried Class 60 No 60065 'Spirit of Jaguar' approaches Hatfield Lane with a Hedon Road (Hull) - Masborough loaded steel train.
Slightly ironic that this shot shows two industries that are struggling at the moment - deep mined coal - which has now gone from the UK and steel - the train is carrying imported steel!
