Stane Street Halt railway station was a station serving the community of Takeley Street to the west of the village of Takeley near Bishop's Stortford, England. The station was 4 miles 18 chains (6.80 km) from Bishop's Stortford on the Bishop's Stortford to Braintree branch line (Engineer's Line Reference BSB). The halt opened on 18 December 1922 and closed on 3 March 1952. It was named after the nearby Roman road. The halt along with almost all the intermediate stations on the Bishop's Stortford–Braintree branch were little used. The halt was built in a rural area. The village centre of Takeley is still rural and Stane Street and Takeley stations were very close together. However to try to boost passenger numbers, the owner of the line introduced a bus service. However the hoped for passenger numbers never materialized. The Halt makes its sole appearance in printed literature in 1935 in S P B Mais's England's Pleasance p. 261. It closed to passengers along with the rest of the branch.

Stansted or Steanstead Hall is located in Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex, East of England, United Kingdom. It was the country seat of the Earls of Essex during the reign of Henry VIII of England.The Tudor-era Stansted Hall was partially destroyed by fire. So in the early 1660s Sir Thomas Myddleton built a new hall, a massive Jacobean four-story building with two large domed-shaped towers. The older Tudor hall remained standing nearby until at least 1770.The famous landscape designer Humphry Repton produced one of his ‘red books’ of designs for Stansted in 1791.Ebenezer Maitland (1780-1858) married Miss Berthia Ellis (1780-1863), the granddaughter of William Fuller (d.1800), a London banker. When his wife’s maiden aunt Sarah Fuller, William’s only surviving heiress, died in 1810, left all she possessed to the couple – a substantial fortune estimated at £500,000 (equivalent to £37,743,221 in 2021) – stipulating that Ebenezer assume the surname Fuller Maitland. So Stansted Hall became the property of the Fuller Maitland family. The manor house that stands today was begun in 1871 by William Fuller Maitland (d. 1876) and completed in 1876 following his death, adding some elements recovered from the surviving Jacobean tower of the previous manor hall. The Fuller-Maitland family owned Stansted Hall for many decades, until William Fuller-Maitland (d. November 1932) sold the estate in 1921.James Arthur Findlay bought the estate in 1923 from Sir Albert Ball. In 1964 Stansted Hall, its grounds and an endowment were transferred by Mr. Findlay to the Arthur Findlay College, a college of spiritualism and psychic sciences.

Hatfield Forest is a 403.2-hectare (996-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Essex, three miles east of Bishop's Stortford. It is also a National Nature Reserve and a Nature Conservation Review site. It is owned and managed by the National Trust. A medieval warren in the forest is a Scheduled Monument.Hatfield is the only remaining intact Royal Hunting Forest and dates from the time of the Norman kings. Other parts of the once extensive Forest of Essex include Epping Forest to the southwest, Hainault Forest to the south and Writtle Forest to the east. Hatfield Forest was established as a Royal hunting forest in the late eleventh century, following the introduction of fallow deer and after Forest Laws were imposed on the area by the king. Deer hunting and chasing was a popular sport for Norman kings and lords, and the word 'forest' strictly means place of deer rather than of trees. In the case of Hatfield, the area under Forest Law consisted of woodlands with plains. In his book about the site, The Last Forest, botanist and rural historian Oliver Rackham argues that "Hatfield is of supreme interest in that all the elements of a medieval Forest survive: deer, cattle, coppice woods, pollards, scrub, timber trees, grassland and fen ... As such it is almost certainly unique in England and possibly in the world ... The Forest owes very little to the last 250 years ... Hatfield is the only place where one can step back into the Middle Ages to see, with only a small effort of the imagination, what a Forest looked like in use."
