    The 1535 Progress: Wolvesey Palace & Winchester Cathedral, Hampshire

    A once luxurious palace, It is likely that Henry and Anne stayed at Wolvesey during their 1535 progress. The intended plan was to stay at Winchester for four or five days but the royal couple were so delighted with the sport on offer, they extended their stay to at least two weeks.

    On Saturday 31 July, 1535 Henry and Anne were met by the Mayor of Gloucester, John Falconer; aldermen; sheriffs, Thomas Payne and Richard Edwardes, and about 100 or so burgesses of the โ€˜town of Gloucesterโ€™. They stayed in Gloucestershire for six days, leaving Gloucester itself on Sunday 7 August.

    A Long Weekend Away in Tudor Norfolk

    In this guide, we travel to Norfolk, a county steeped in significant Tudor history. At its centre is the city of Norwich, once Englandโ€™s second-largest and wealthiest city after London. Its eminence was built on its thriving cloth trade, and it was here that the Boleyns established themselves and began to amass their fortune.ย Let’s find out more!

    The 1535 Progress: Tewkesbury Abbey, Gloucestershire

    On Monday 26 July 1535, the royal party left Sudeley Castle and made the seven-mile journey north-west to Tewkesbury. In keeping with protocol for all royal arrivals, the mayor and other dignitaries would have received the king, queen and their retinue just outside the town, with the two parties merging to travel in procession to the cathedral or abbey church.

  • The 1502 Progress: Coates / Cotes, Gloucestershire

    The 1502 Progress: Coates / Cotes, Gloucestershire

    Just as with Beverston, the mention of Cotes as a location on the 1502 progress is fleeting.

    Coates is a parish about three miles west of Cirencester in Gloucestershire. During the medieval and Tudor periods, Cirencester was a thriving wool town. Henry had visited Cirencester before, on at least one occasion. The choice of Cotes Place as a lodging for the royal party may have meant that the King could rekindle acquaintances with the wool merchants of the nearby town.

  • The Mary Rose Museum & Southsea Castle: Tudor Day Trips From London

    The Mary Rose Museum & Southsea Castle: Tudor Day Trips From London

    The Mary Rose Museum is an incredible time capsule, a window onto everyday Tudor life as much as it is Englandโ€™s Tudor naval history. For when the ship sank, its contents were covered in layers of silt, progressively encasing the wreck. This acted to keep around 40 % of the hull and thousands of artefacts in a fabulous state of preservation. Thus, we are left with a snapshot of the sixteenth century, giving us unique access to the ordinary and extraordinary objects of Tudor life in a way that you will not see elsewhere.

    The 1535 Progress: The Old Palace of Langley, Oxfordshire

    After the court had made the twelve-mile journey from Abingdon Abbey, they arrived at the Old Palace of Langley on 16 July , staying for five days. Today, perched on high ground to the south of the village of Shipton-Under-Wychwood, is the small hamlet of Langley, locally famous for being home to a site where itโ€™s traditionally said once stood King Johnโ€™s Palace. Although the Old Palace of Langley was extensively remodelled in 1858, the converted building includes Tudor walls and Itโ€™s still possible to see the initials H E, for Henry VII and Elizabeth of York, on a stone panel at the front of the farmhouse.
