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.
28 of these single-storey houses were built in the mid-60s by the Cockaigne Housing Group. They were an evolution of ideas negotiated by the clients, architects (Phippen, Parkes and Randall) together with sociologist, Barbara Adams. Price on completion - from £2875(1-bed) to £5940(4-bed). They look very narrow but from looking at the floor plans, I can see they go back a long way. This is how they looked when they were first built.
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 Park has many veteran oaks (Common Oak or Pedunculate Oak). It is possible that one or two were completely mature during the Normans era.
The path of the "Trees of Veterans" allows to walk through the park discovering these beautiful old trees.
Hatfield Park possède beaucoup de chênes vétérans (chêne pédonculé ou Quercus robur). Il est possible qu'un ou deux aient été complètement matures à l'époque de l'invasion Normande.
Le sentier des «Arbres Vétérans» permet de parcourir le parc en découvrant ces magnifiques végétaux.

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.

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 King James Drawing Room
This has always been the principal reception room in the House.
It takes its name from the life-size statue of James I, presented by the King himself, which stands above the mantelpiece.
The marble chimneypiece was carved by the King’s Master Sculptor, Maximilian Colt.
Most of the furniture is of the late 18th century.
Portrait of Queen Elizabeth I (Detail)
The famous Ermine portrait of Queen Elizabeth I is displayed in the centre of the north wall of the room, this is one of the four paintings of the monarch which were owned by Robert Cecil at the beginning of the 17th century. It is attributed to Nicholas Hilliard (1547-1619), the Queen’s court artist. The date of the portrait (1585) is inscribed on the hilt of the Sword of State lying by her left hand.
Elizabeth holds a sprig of olive in one hand (representing Peace) and has a small white animal on the sleeve of her left hand. The animal is an ermine, a symbol of purity and virginity: it wears a collar in the form of a golden crown around its neck, decorated with precious stones.
The portrait is possibly connected with a visit made by the Queen in 1585 to William Cecil, Lord Burghley, at Theobalds. The royal features are impassive and painted in a flat light that makes the Queen look aloof and imperious. The detail on the jewellery and lace is particularly magnificent, whilst the pendant hanging from her neck is made of three huge rubies that once belonged to the Dukes of Burgundy and which were known as the Three Brothers. The Queen’s monument in Westminster Abbey shows her wearing this jewel.

The Hatfield Technical College was opened in 1952, and this photo, by John W. Read, must have been taken in about 1954. Later known as the Hatfield College of Technology, then Hatfield Polytechnic, it is now the University of Hertfordshire.

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.
