Dear Sarah, thank you once again for your special way of expounding on a lovely historic Tudor place. Hatfield is indeed very special, especially since it is so intrinsically bound to the early history of Elizabeth 1. And thank you for also revealing the special original route one may take to recapture an aspect of the Tudor experience of Hatfield House. With Blessings and appreciation from Colleen Cox XXX
The Old Palace is a very special place of mine; I’ve visited to Hatfield various times but the most biggest memory I’ve had of the Old Palace is when I had my prom in the Banqueting hall 10 years ago. I certainly felt like a princess on that day. I hope to revisit or possibly volunteer there one day. 🙂🦋✨
I skipped my prom here in the US. But if it were held at such an amazingly beautiful and historic place like this; I would have totally have gone to prom.
In the late sixties the old palace (banqueting hall) was run as a very classy restaurant. You could go their for tea and scones and would be served by very attractive young ladies dressed as serving girls. I went their many times. In those days there were no gardens in front of the palace, (I think it was a car park). The palace was straight up the hill from the Eight Bells pub that used to be associated with a Dicken's character Bill Sykes. In those days part of the Elizabeth oak was just about alive, it was surrounded by a rusty fence.
18.05 I honestly believe after seeing “the most happiest” medal & Elizabeth’s E ring, that this portrait is the closet likeness to Anne Boleyns (added darker hair & sallow complexion)
I loved all the facts about Hatfield. It makes a difference if there are photos during your talk. I didn't realize just how much time Queen Elizabeth was at Hatfield. You are right this was Queen Elizabeth's true home. You are very charming and personable. I enjoyed your talk very much. ❤️
It was Elizabeth l s fist home since she was a little girl and then again she was an adult There she received the news of her sister queen Mary's death on Nov 17 1558that she became Queen It's spite only the great hall remained but at least is something
I do so enjoy all your tours of the Tudor realm. I wonder, would Katherine Parr have spent significant time here? I've learned that I'm distantly related to her and now wish to trace the places in her life. Cheers!
You mentioned one of your favorite authors, a Simon (?), Could you tell me his last name, I couldn't hear it very well. Thank you! Certainly enjoyed this visit to Hatfield!
I love also the old palace of Hatfield but i dont believes its the same building that Elizabeth 1st stayed at as i believe its a elizabethan rebuild built a few years after Elizabeth 1st had died. The banquet Hall i believe is original and was used by Henry viii.
😀 Well, they would sample bits of various courses. It was all about show - having the money to lay our so many dishes - even if you didn't eat it all. Although you are right - plenty of opportunity to get fat!

Thankyou. Your knowledge of Tudor history and your delivery make the history come alive.

I am a Hatfield and this is on my bucket list.
Breathtaking thank you
I love your opening music.
What type of furniture, other than the bed, would have been in Elizabeth's bedchamber?
I know these places have to be self-supporting, but it’s sad to see that beautiful old hall cluttered up with theatrical lighting and sound equipment.

Were there any "secret" rooms at the Old Palace?

70 courses. How fat they must have been
