Hatfield is a town and civil parish in Hertfordshire, England, in the borough of Welwyn Hatfield. It had a population of 29,616 in 2001, and is of Saxon origin. Hatfield House, the home of the Marquess of Salisbury, is the nucleus of the old town. From the 1930s when de Havilland opened a factory until the 1990s when British Aerospace closed, Hatfield was associated with aircraft design and manufacture, which employed more people than any other industry. Hatfield was one of the post-war New Towns built around London and has much modernist architecture from the period. The University of Hertfordshire is based there. Hatfield is 20 miles (30 kilometres) north of London. A train service runs directly from Hatfield Station to Kings Cross, taking approximately 20 minutes on the fast service.
The Bishop's ‘ō‘ō or Moloka‘i ‘ō‘ō (Moho bishopi) is a member of the extinct genus of the ‘ō‘ōs (Moho) within the extinct family Mohoidae. It was previously regarded as member of the Australo-Pacific honeyeaters (Meliphagidae).Lionel Walter Rothschild named it after Charles Reed Bishop, the founder of the Bishop Museum.
Description
It was discovered in 1892 by Henry C. Palmer, a bird collector for Lord Rothschild. Its length was about 29 centimeters. The tail had reached a length of 10 centimeters. The plumage was general glossy black with yellow feather tufts on the maxillaries, beneath the wings and the undertail coverts. Their songs were simple two notes, took-took, which could be heard for miles.
Distribution
It was endemic to the montane forests in the eastern of the Hawaiian Island of Molokai, and Mount Olokai. Subfossil bone finds are known from Maui, on Mount Olinda at about 4,500ft above sea level.

Hertfordshire Village Walks (Part 3): Wheathampstead to Bishop's Hatfield
This walk covered 18 miles in total and took us from the Hertfordshire village of Wheathampstead to Nomansland Common, where the notorious female highway robber, Katherine Ferrers staged her last robbery. Then across country to the Old Town of Hatfield (Bishop's Hatfield). Here we visit an historic pub noted by Charles Dickens and then view a spectacular monument in the local church before visiting the grounds of Hatfield House and Palace, where Elizabeth 1st lived prior to acceding to the throne. Then we visit an unusual location where an epic film was made. Then we head back to Wheathampstead, visiting another two historic and noteworthy pubs on the way.
