Hatfield: A Pictorial History

Hatfield became a New Town nearly 50 years ago. Since then, much has changed and many 18th- and 19th-century buildings have been destroyed, both in the old town and in the Victorian development to the west. Of its older heritage, the town still retains picturesque houses, St Etheldreda, Hatfield House, Park and Old Palace of the Bishops of Ely.
