Review - An engaging look into the history of both Hatfield House, childhood home of Elizabeth I, and the Cecil family (the most famous being William Cecil Lord Burghley, chief minister of Elizabeth I). It's interesting to see how the two run together, right up to the present day when the house is still under the ownership of the Cecil family. Of course, the house is not the same one which Elizabeth I knew, having been built under James I, but there is still so much of the original Elizabethan history there.
