Hi Clare,

Yes I have a postcard in my collection which is the same as that in Paul Embletons book. The picture isn't great but I'd be happy to send you an image.
The other pictures I have are from the Hertford County Archive from a sales catalogue with their code B63.
I have just joined this forum to reply to your message so I'm just getting used to the format etc!
I'll get an image and sent to you when I can. In the meantime anything else please just ask.

Regards Roger

Hi I'm researching the Fuller Maitland family at the moment and compiling a local history book on the family and their collections. I live in Stansted and have given a number of local talks on the family and their history.
I have some photos that were were taken around the time that Stansted house was sold in the mid 1920's. The house was damaged by fire some years later and another house was rebuilt on the site. 
A picture of the house is in Paul Embletons book 'Around Stansted Mountfitchet' in the Images of England series.
William Fuller Maitland lived in the house from around the mid 1840's till he eventually decided to rebuild Stansted Hall in the early 1870's. Sadly he died just before he was about to move into the new Hall. His son also a William let the Hall out to Lord Gardner. In 1881 William married Lord Gardners daughter Evelyn and they moved back into the new Hall some years later much to the delight it seems of the village. 
Regards Roger
