Hatfield House

Having done a little research it seems that Elizabeth I stayed at Hatfield House, not Knebworth House! (I knew it was somewhere local, ha!) She was educated there before becoming Queen, and was one of her favourite residences - only part of the original house remains that she would recognise as a newer house was built nearby in 1611. Still have similar problems of access etc but probably won't do any further research until I'm part of a group and we've agreed what we are supposed to be doing. N
