• Histories

  Broad Arrow Princess Elizabeth thanked the Thrale family securing her escape from Queen Mary between 1556 and 1558, by hiding her up a tree on their farm at Nomansland - which was just 6 miles from Hatfield House. When Elizabeth became Queen she repaid the Thrale family by giving them family arms and a Broad Arrow.
