Last week, the Mayor of Hatfield, Councillor Nike Fakoya, visited St Etheldreda's Church in Old Hatfield to attend a service, meet Reverend Darren Collins, and spend some time with members of the congregation.

Sitting at the top of the hill overlooking Old Hatfield, St Etheldreda's is one of the most historically significant buildings in our town. With origins dating back to the 13th century, the church has served Hatfield for centuries and is home to the Salisbury Chapel, built in 1618, which contains the tomb of Robert Cecil. It also holds memorials to two of Queen Victoria's Prime Ministers.

If you're interested in local history, architecture, or just a peaceful place for a stroll, St Etheldreda's welcomes visitors throughout the week. To find out more about visiting, or to plan a tour, head to www.stetheldreda.org.

A big thank you to Reverend Darren and the congregation for such a warm welcome.
