When Henry VIII dispersed the possessions of the Church, he took it over and used it chiefly as a residence for his children and the future Queen Elizabeth I spent her childhood at Hatfield House.
Later on, James I exchanged Hatfield House for Theobalds, the residence of Robert Cecil, afterwards 1st Earl of Salisbury. The House has been in the Cecil family for 400 years and is still today the residence of the 7th Marquess of Salisbury.
