St Etheldreda's Church, Hatfield is 13th century and was originally Anglo-Saxon. It was named for St Etheldreda because it was adjacent to a palace of the Bishops of Ely who held her as their patron saint.
Just outside the walls of Hatfield House, at the top of the steep road up Fore Street (once part of the Great North Road from London) stands the historic parish church, with its fifteenth century tower, built when the Old Palace was the residence of the Bishops of Ely, and dedicated to their patron saint, St. Etheldreda.
