Hatfield House - June 5th

Started June off with a trip to Hatfield House with Boon.  It has been the home for Royalty for hundreds of years and is still the residence of the Cecil family who are from the Royal Family.  This house was built by the 1st minister to King James I - Robert Cecil and has been owned by the Cecil family ever since.
