Something very different however, if you find yourself in Devon, is the home of Richard Grenville and later Francis Drake - namely Buckland Abbey, near Yelverton and Tavistock.Originally a Cistercian Abbey, it was sold to the Grenvilles at the dissolution, and later bought by Drake. It is unusual in that the Abbey church was turned by Grenville into his house, and many fine Tudor features remain, despite a serious fire in the 1930's. Long way from London though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16981893.post-1151766067960842952006-07-01T10:01:00.000-05:002006-07-01T10:01:00.000-05:00I am going to put on a play about a fictious encou...I am going to put on a play about a fictious encounter between `elizabeth tudor and mary stuart, hopefully autumn 2006.

There you'll find so many of the portraits of Elizabeth, Anne Bolyen, Henry VIII, Thomas More and his family, Cromwell, all the major players at court. It is a stunning collection and you'll recognize many of the portraits you've seen in biographies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16981893.post-1136500567590229142006-01-05T16:36:00.000-06:002006-01-05T16:36:00.000-06:00If I was going to London, I would definately visit...If I was going to London, I would definately visit the Tower of London where Elizabeth was held prisoner by her half sister Mary for a short time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
