Layer Marney Tower, Essex
In this episode, I visit Layer Marney Tower in Essex. I’m shown around by its owner, Sheila Charrington. We explore this stunning Tudor gatehouse, the tallest of its kind in the UK. Its impressive height and elaborate brickwork, showcase the wealth and ambition of its creator, Lord Henry Marney.
The 1535 Progress: Basing House, Hampshire
After a short journey from Sherbourne St John, Anne and Henry arrived at Basing House, the principal seat of Sir William Paulet, Comptroller of the King’s Household, on 19 October 1535. One of the finest residences in the country, Basing House covered over 14 acres, and parts of the building rose to five storeys high.
