circa 1905

This cottage has now been destroyed. It was supposed to be far older than Hadley Church. I think it was a great mistake ever to have had it destroyed. Charles II took shelter in it. [Handwritten message on the back]

In "The Last of the Barons" Friar Bungay hanged his rival Adam Warner on this tree after the Battle of Barnet. The old Hermitage in which King Edward slept before the Battle, stood opposite the Oak, on the left of the picture.
