Sarah - The Tudor Travel Guide

Welcome To The Tudor Travel Guide

Hi! My name is Sarah and I believe that it is only time and not space that separates us from the past. This is why I am passionate about Tudor places. My mission is to help you immerse yourself in the sixteenth century by weaving stories of people and events into the places in which they unfolded. Let’s go time travelling together!

P.S. I love exploring my Tudor history with a serving of tea & cake!
