A glimpse of Hatfield Old Palace, in the grounds of Hatfield House, the seat of the marquesses of Sailsbury. This is all that remains of the palace built by one of the bishops of Ely during the late 15th century. It was here that King Edward VI and his sister Queen Elizabeth I spent their childhood, the palace having been taken over by their father, King Henry VIII. The palace originally had four wings, but three of these were torn down in 1608 and their bricks used in the construction of Hatfield House. All that was left was the Banqueting Hall, which was used for stabling horses until it was restored by the 4th marquess during the 20th century. In the foreground is the West Garden of Hatfield House.
The oldest part of the house dates from 1485 and is still in use today.
They hold 'Elizabethan banquets' where you eat with your fingers and are entertained with jesters and minstrels, whilst serving wenches top up your glass with wine or mead - all good fun!

Hatfield House, the seat of the marquesses of Salisbury, has been owned by the Gascoyne-Cecil family since the early 17th century. The magnificent Jacobean house was built for King James I's chief minister, Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury, between 1607 and 1612. The house is surrounded by delightful gardens, covering an area of some 42 acres; these were originally laid out by John Tradescant the Elder during the 17th century. The adjoining Hatfield Estate, said to be the largest private one in Hertfordshire, runs to around 8,500 acres, according to some estimates. This photograph was taken in the West Garden, designed in 1902.
