Hadstock is a small village on the Essex/Cambridgeshire border in England, 6 miles from Saffron Walden, and about 9 miles from Cambridge.
The village church, St Botolph's, has the oldest door still in use in Britain. The oldest parts of the church are thought to date to the early 11th century (around 1020AD). Since that time the church has received many additions and undergone several renovations.
Hadstock is also home to the Hadstock Silver Band, a friendly local Brass Band for experienced and learning players alike.
