Berkeley Castle, which is nearby, is also connected to Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn (along with Elizabeth I). Sudeley Castle is about 45mins to 1 hour away and is definitely worth the trip.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16981893.post-42747448997365179402008-12-17T15:51:00.000-06:002008-12-17T15:51:00.000-06:00Hampton Court Palace will also have events through...Hampton Court Palace will also have events throughout the yearkbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840188159816630368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16981893.post-79308302547675014782008-12-17T15:42:00.000-06:002008-12-17T15:42:00.000-06:00Nikki - you could always go the whole hog while yo...Nikki - you could always go the whole hog while you are over here and have an overnight at this place! Not sure about the oldest Tudor gardens, but it does look rather nice.<BR/><BR/>THORNBURY CASTLE (Gloucestershire)<BR/>"Enjoy regal dreams in the Duke's Bedchamber where King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn slept, or favour the Gloucester Bedchamber and wake up to a view of the oldest Tudor gardens in England - the Privy Garden and Goodly Gardens. There are 26 bedchambers and all are fabulously atmospheric, most with four poster or coronet beds, stone walls, tapestries, roaring fires, ornate carved ceilings and views to historic parkland and the River Severn beyond."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16981893.post-48905392225551417182008-12-17T14:54:00.000-06:002008-12-17T14:54:00.000-06:00Nikki, I lifted this from The Royal Collection sit...Nikki, I lifted this from The Royal Collection site<BR/>www.royalcollection.org.uk<BR/><BR/><BR/>The Drawings Gallery, Windsor Castle<BR/><BR/>Henry VIII: A 500th Anniversary Exhibition<BR/>8 April 2009 – 18 April 2010<BR/><BR/>"To mark the 500th anniversary of Henry VIII’s accession to the throne, some of the most important and beautiful treasures to survive from the king’s reign will be brought together from the Royal Collection and the St George’s Chapel archives. Windsor Castle played host to Henry VIII and his court on many occasions, and the monarch is buried in St George’s Chapel with his third wife Jane Seymour. Through paintings, drawings, miniatures, prints, books and manuscripts, the exhibition will explore the life of a king who had a profound impact on British history and whose fascinating story continues to generate widespread interest today."<BR/><BR/>Advance tickets and information: 020 7766 7304Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16981893.post-30881861834931477422008-12-17T12:33:00.000-06:002008-12-17T12:33:00.000-06:00There's going to be an exhibit in the White Tower ...There's going to be an exhibit in the White Tower at the Tower of London called "Dressed To Kill." They haven't publicized it too much yet, so I don't know what they will have. It opens in April and runs through October, 2009. <A HREF="http://www.hrp.org.uk/TowerOfLondon/WhatsOn/Dressedtokill.aspx?EventDate=01/04/2009&Step=View" REL="nofollow">Dressed to Kill exhibit</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
