St Mary the Virgin, Welwyn
St Mary the Virgin, Essendon
A hilltop village on the eastern edge of the Hatfield House estate. The current church was added to a tower of 1628, in 1882-1884 by William White. The east end was rebuilt in 1917 by C.J. Blomfield following zeppelin air raid damage. There is a Wedgwood font (not generally on view). I was lucky enough to also be taken up the tower to see the clock mechanism, bells, and the views of the churchyard from the top.
