#OnThisDay in 1486 Henry VII married Elizabeth of York. The parents of Henry VIII, their marriage lasted 17 years until Elizabeth died in 1503. In 2015 we were extremely lucky to exhibit their marriage bed - the only existing royal medieval bed in England.

We are unfortunately experiencing a high volume of abusive behaviour towards our staff. We understand that we're living in different times with new procedures & queuing systems to take into account. But this does not excuse verbal & physical abuse to our staff/fellow visitors.1/2

On this day in 1536, Anne Boleyn was led to the scaffold. She proclaimed her innocence during her last confession & spoke bravely whilst on the scaffold. She asked that those who would meddle in her cause going forward would judge her the best. ❤️

#OnThisDay in 1558, Elizabeth I became Queen. The only child of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII to survive, she reigned for almost 45 years. She has been remembered as one of Britain's greatest monarchs and her successful reign allowed the legacy of her late mother to live on.

Anne Boleyn's coronation was perhaps even more lavish than that of King Henry VIII. On 29 May, Anne was taken by barge to The Tower of London. She was surrounded by a flotilla of 60 other barges & over a 1000 rounds of canon fire were shot when she landed at the Tower wharf. 1/4

These 2 adorable teddy bears will eventually be available to buy in the shop. But before we approve the final design we want to know what you think. Would you be interested in purchasing them? Do you think the design needs to be tweaked? Do they look cuddly enough? Let us know!

This morning, we took Anne Boleyn's Books of Hours back to the Best Bedchamber, the room where she most likely read them. Who knows, maybe this is even where she wrote her famous inscriptions. They are now safely back in their cases after their little excursion! ✨

It was previously believed that Thomas Boleyn added the Long Gallery, but new research of Hever Castle's history has revealed that it was actually Anne of Cleves’ vision. Anne also added the Staircase Gallery, connecting the two wings of the house, and the Entrance Hall.
