FOREST IN ESSEX.

This
church is almost opposite the main entrance into Hatfield Forest (a
beautiful country park - National Trust) and on a minor road near the A120
between Bishops Stortford and Great Dunmow. The church was built in 1850 as
a chapel of ease to Hatfield Broad Park and in early Spring surrounded by
wild snowdrops and primroses. In the large rockery overlooking the church
the birds were nesting high during May 1988 -
supposedly a sign of a warm Summer.

Nearby
houses of note are:
LITTLE
BARRINGTON HALL FARM, HATFIELD BROAD OAK AND GREAT HALLINGBURY.

Legible
names amongst the very weathered worn memorial stones - none of which are
older than the last quarter of 19th Century are SEVERAL HOCKLEY NAMES.
