Commonwealth War Cemetery Hatfield Park

From September 1939 Hatfield House was used as a military hospital. A small section of the park was enclosed and laid out as a cemetery for burials from this hospital, which was in use throughout the war. Hatfield Park War Cemetery contains 20 graves from the Second World War, together with the grave of a civilian airman, a flight test observer, who died in 1943. In addition, a special memorial headstone commemorates one casualty buried in the redundant churchyard of Digswell (St. John), Welwyn Garden City, whose grave could no longer be maintained.
