Hunsdon House is a historic house in Hunsdon, Hertfordshire, England, northwest of Harlow. Originally constructed in the 15th century, it was most notably the estate of Henry VIII of England. It has been rebuilt several times since then, and is no longer as grand as it was in the Tudor era. It is a Grade I listed building.
Hunsdon is a village and civil parish in Hertfordshire, England. It is around 5.5 miles (9km) east of Ware and 5 miles (8km) north-west of Harlow.
History
Hunsdon village centre contains many old houses, some known to date back to at least the 15th century. There are no known dwellings dating back before about this time, although a few old hall houses in the area are probably older, and Hunsdon was registered in the Domesday Book (1086).
Village centre
The village centre is dominated by what is today the Village Hall. This had previously been the village school before the more modern one was built further up Widford Road. This building was originally believed to be a house called Harlowes, owned by John Harlowe in the 15th century, which overlooked Harlowes Green, one of the 5 Greens in the Parish, and which is now The Crown public house car park and a small green on which stands the War Memorial. It was certainly being run as a school in 1806, when Mrs Calvert of Hunsdon House was assisting the then schoolmistress. The Calverts were instrumental in enlarging and adding to the building about that time to improve the features of the school. The two adjoining houses were probably built on by the Calverts in about 1817 when major renovation by them was being undertaken to the school building, to make a more attractive centre for the village.

ThenAndNow: Hunsdon looking East
The large arable fields and ancient woodland clumps persist as characteristic features of the Hunsdon plateau Landscape Character Area. Behind the distant woods lies Hunsdon airfield, important during WW2 and reflected in the open flat landscape. Apart from growth in the trees, there is little obvious change since 1999 although roadside vegetation growth has occurred and may in time obscure this view.
It is possible that the garden fencing that appears to the left of shot in 2020 is new, but also possible that the slight difference in position of the two viewpoints has led to this: using landscape features alone as reference points when lining up views, even with GPS, can make it difficult to get exactly the same spot.

my lady hunsdon's puffe
John Bisset plays a jaunty lute Allemande from John Dowland (1563-1626). I'm not a music reader so I learnt it by ear from Julian Bream's recording - so there's the odd deviation from the original.

WALKING IN HERTFORDSHIRE | HUNSDON | BRITISH ARMY 12 HOUR RATION PACK MENU 8
Myself and Candice went for a 6 mile walk in and around Hunsdon on the Hertfordshire/ Essex border.
I also reviewed another British Army 12 hour ration pack for lunch.
There was plenty of history in the form of Hunsdon House and it's surrounding parkland and woodland, along with remnants of the defences of the former WWII RAF Hunsdon Airfield!
The weather was sunny and warm and the ciders were long and cold!

The large arable fields and ancient woodland clumps persist as characteristic features of the Hunsdon plateau Landscape Character Area. Behind the distant woods lies Hunsdon airfield, important during WW2 and reflected in the open flat landscape. Apart from growth in the trees, there is little obvious change since 1999 although roadside vegetation growth has occurred and may in time obscure this view.
It is possible that the garden fencing that appears to the left of shot in 2020 is new, but also possible that the slight difference in position of the two viewpoints has led to this: using landscape features alone as reference points when lining up views, even with GPS, can make it difficult to get exactly the same spot.
