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.
i hope it will become a good tradition to go for a late night/early morning stroll around Hatfield. everything looks so different during this time of tranquil silence.

Bobby Hatfield – Congratulatory Gold 45 Award Presented to Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers by the Lupus Foundation of America in 2000 for “You’ve Lost That Lovin Feelin” Having Been Chosen “Song Of The Century” and for his charity work to help fight the disease of lupus.
Bobby Hatfield was issued this unusual award which contains a gold plated copy of the Righteous Brothers hit: “You’ve Lost That Lovin Feelin” to congratulate him for the naming of that classic record being designated “Song of The Century” by BMI because it has been played on radio and television more than any other song in broadcast history.
But in addition to this broadcast achievement, Bobby Hatfield was recognized for twelve years of hosting the “Bobby Hatfield Charity Golf Classic” to raise money to fight lupus, an illness that his wife, Linda Hatfield, suffered from for many years. Bobby Hatfield raised over one million dollars to help fight the disease of lupus.

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.

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.
