We visited Hatfield Hall recently. It is Jacobean built in 1611. Queen Elizabeth grew up here.
The Marquis of Salisbury owns Hatfield house and the family still live there. The banqueting hall has been restored and is quite something. There are many interesting paintings. There were two of Queen Elizabeth 1, both very symbolic which we enjoyed.
This ball is part of the mobile water sculpture by Angela Conner. It is situated in front of the House and is called ‘Renaissance’. The curved structure is silver coloured and has water cascading down the arms. The ball is golden and rises out of the water in a mist. The silver curves open up at the same time.
