Despite the scorching heat, it was a great day out at Hatfield House, now celebrating its 400th year. The grounds are extensive and very well tended, and populated with many sculptures from the late Henry Spencer Moore. The main house did not allow any photography inside, but was thoroughly fascinating, with many historical artefacts, including one of the first copies of the King James' Bible (the most published book in the English language).There was also a terrific sundial, with directions to all over the planet, and a farm, with very tame goats and a very muddy pig.I used a number of lenses, the Tokina 11-16mm F/2.8, the Nikkors 50mm F/1.4 AF-D, and the 18-200 VR.
