Hatfield Manor House, in the village of Hatfield near Doncaster, is largely a Georgian building, but with clearly surviving structures from previous eras (e.g. lancet windows).
It is believed to be the site of the palace of Edwin of Northumbria, who allegedly died at the Battle of Hatfield Chase, the location of which is disputed.
The building is not open to the public, the entrance is marked by two modern gatehouses on Manor Road, the early 18th century stables are clearly visible from the road.
Famous quotes containing the word house:
“If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life ... for fear that I should get some of his good done to me,—some of its virus mingled with my blood.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
