Bull's Green: Queen Hoo Hall
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Bull's Green: Queen Hoo Hall Records of the Manor of Hoo pre-date the Domesday Book. The present hall was built around 1550, or around 1589 depending on which source one uses, as a farm house, although Queen Elizabeth I is said to have used it as a hunting lodge. Given the proximity of the site to Hatfield House where she spent her childhood that is not unlikely. Furthermore the Hoo family were related to Anne Boleyn, the mother of the Queen, so perhaps Royal patronage of the Hoo family home is the origin of the name Queen Hoo.
The Hall is a private residence not open to the public and this view was taken from the footpath through the field to the south. There is a somewhat twee painting of the hall from Edwardian times here http://www.hertfordshire-genealogy.co.uk/images/post-cards/queen-hoo-hall.jpg |
