Hatfield House is a Jacobean house built in 1611, in the grounds of which<BR>
survives a wing of the former Royal Palace of Hatfield (circa 1497). It was<BR>
here that Elizabeth I spent much of her childhood and where she received<BR>
the news of her accession to the throne. <BR>
Guided tours, in small groups, are arranged for you on Tuesday the 10th of July, and there will be the<BR>
opportunity to purchase lunch during the time when you are not looking<BR>
around the house. <BR>
