4: Queen Elizabeth at Hatfield House presented at Hatfield by Roy Strong with Gwen Watford as Queen Elizabeth I BRIAN HAINES, DOUGLAS BLACKWELL
The Old Palace at Hatfield is where Elizabeth grew up, where she underwent the first crisis of her adult life, where she became Queen. Only one wing of it still stands, but Hatfield House, built by her Minister Robert Cecil , is also full of Elizabethan associations. Producer RICHARD KEEN
