Hatfield Regis

Local History Society

President: Rupert Gosling Esq. Lord of the Manor

The April meeting of the History Society began with a
launch of the Hatfield Heath POW Camp 116 Book preced-
ed by a slide presentation. A well attended meeting fol-
lowed the local history of the Camp and a general
introduction to POW Camps in the British Isles.

The location in Mill Lane provided the starting point for
a series of images that was representative of both the
Prisoners and Guards sections. Aerial photographs dated
1946 and recent images show that the Camp has not
changed considerably. The Prisoner section is now occu-
pied by Greenways with many of the original Laing wood
buildings still in use after almost 60 years. The Guards
section brick built MOWP style has not been occupied and
is now overgrown and subjected to vandalism. There is
however examples of Prisoner artistic abilities in the Camp
and others presented to some Villagers. A mural painted
above the door in the canteen, carvings owned by Joy
Passfield and a series of water colours are some examples
of the Prisoners skills. Shower, toilet, kitchen and Guards
living quarters, although dilapidated are still recognisable
as buildings which would have been occupied during the
war.

The presentation ended with a question and answer
session that involved contributions from some of the audi-
ence who had personal recollections and memories of the
Prisoners.

When the Parish Magazine celebrated its 50th Year
anniversary in 1943, the Vicar, and Magazine
Editor, the Rev A F Gardiner contacted earlier
incumbents going back to the first edition in 1893 to
ask them to write about their reminiscences during
their time at Hatfield Heath. All replied!.and gave a
fascinating account of life in the Village during their
period of occupation. In particular the accounts
given by the Vicars during the two World Wars gave
an insight as to life here which could not be obtained
by any history book. Here is the third report which
covers the period 1905 - 1915 during the Rev De
Vere Watson's time.

The next Editor the Rev. H. DE V. WATSON who
came here in 1905, and is now Rector of
Belbroughtqn in.Worcestershire, has sent some
very interesting reminiscences of his ten years'
work here,
" I first took services in the church at Hatfield Heath
on Ash Wednesday, March 8th, 1905, though I was
not actually licensed and admitted as Perpetual Curate
and Titular Vicar until March 28th by the Bishop of
St. Albans.
My most vivid recollection of coming to the Vicarage
is that a new kitchen range which had been included
in the repairs to be done had not arrived and that Mr
and Mrs, Horace Broke, who had invited us to stay at
Gladwyns for a day or two, most kindly
kept us there for a fortnight. This was the beginning
of a friendship which, I am glad to say, lasts to the
present time with a family whose interest in the parish
has been unfailing.
The most outstanding event connected with the
church during my time as Vicar was the celebration of
the Jubilee of its consecration on August 4th, 1909,
During the preceding 3 years £300 had been raised for
a new organ, which is still I trust doing good service.

College Oxford Mission at Stratford, where I began
work. This contact between the village and London-
over-the- Border was beneficial to all. The Mission
has alas ! been bombed out of existence. There was a
very clear cut division between Church and Chapel,
though we were good friends, for each body had its
own Day School with Head Master and Assistants, a
most unusual position in a village of only about 600
inhabitants. There were very few children who did
not belong to one of the Sunday Schools and though
maybe one looks back through rose-tinted glasses, it
seems to me that there was a
