Hampton Court Palace was originally built for Cardinal Wolsey, a favourite of King Henry VIII, circa 1514; in 1529, as Wolsey fell from favour, the palace was passed to the King, who enlarged it.
In 1533 Henry VIII married Anne Boleyn secretly here, and in 1536 did the same with Jane Seymour.
Windsor Castle was built as a motte and bailey, with three wards surrounding a central mound.Edward's core design lasted through the Tudor period, during which Henry VIII and Elizabeth I made increasing use of the castle as a royal court and centre for diplomatic entertainment.
Built in approximately 1480, Henry VIII hunted in nearby Ashdown Forest and used Bolebroke as his hunting lodge. The proximity of Hever Castle, only 8 kilometres away, also made this a perfect base from which to court Anne Boleyn.
Anne Boleyn, the second queen consort of King Henry VIII of England, spent her early youth there, after her father, Thomas Boleyn had inherited it in 1505. He had been born there in 1477, and the castle passed to him upon the death of his father, Sir William Boleyn. It later came into the possession of King Henry's fourth wife, Anne of Cleves. In the 21st century the castle is a tourist attraction.
Allington Castle is the birthplace in 1503 of the English lyrical poet Sir Thomas Wyatt and in 1521 of his son the rebel leader Thomas Wyatt.
The castle went through various phases of ownership until, by the 1520s, it belonged to the Wingfield family. The medieval castle was rebuilt as a Tudor manor house, parts of which survive. Catherine of Aragon was sent here for refusing to give up her status or deny the validity of her marriage. The fenland climate damaged her health, and she died here in January 1536.
This was site of manor acquired by Henry VIII in 1526. Grafton was one of Henry VIII's favourite houses. He spent several weeks there in most years of his reign from 1527 onwards, typically arriving towards the end of August and leaving in early October, often as part of a progress that included a visit to Ampthill either before or afterwards. No later sovereign showed as much interest in Grafton.
In 1501 Prince Arthur, (son of Henry VII and brother to Henry VIII) with his bride Catherine of Aragon, lived here for a short time before his early death of an infection from which his wife recovered. Mary Tudor, daughter of Catherine of Aragon and Henry VIII, heir to the throne of England as the couple's only issue, spent three winters at Ludlow between 1525 and 1528, along with her entourage of servants, advisors, and guardians.
A building has been on the site from the 11th century and it has from this time been the home of the Croft family and Croft baronets.
In 1527, the castle played host to Cardinal Wolsey, Sir Thomas More and the Earl of Derby and on November 20th 1532 King Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Sir Francis Weston and Sir Francis Bryan were among its guests.
In 1535, Henry VIII visited the castle with his second wife Anne Boleyn, which had been empty and unattended for some time.When King Henry died, the castle became the property of his son, Edward VI of England, who gave it to his uncle, Thomas Seymour who he made Lord of Sudeley. In 1547, Thomas married Edward's stepmother Catherine Parr. At this time, Seymour and Catherine moved into Sudeley.
It was begun in 1511 as a home for Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham.The site was occupied by a manor house in 930. Part of the original plans for a very grand residence were "well advanced"[1] before the duke was beheaded, in 1521, on the orders of his distant cousin Henry VIII, for alleged treason
The Boleyn family owned the original hall from 1499 until 1505. It is thought that Mary and George were born at Blickling but it is not known if Anne was, as her date of birth is still the subject of much discussion.
This palace was the childhood home and favourite residence of Queen Elizabeth I.Henry VIII's children Edward and Elizabeth spent their youth at Hatfield Palace.
The manor house was the seat of the Seymour family, one of whom was Jane Seymour, Queen to King Henry VIII. Henry VIII had stayed at Wulfhall during his progress of 1535, which may have been when he first noticed Jane Seymour and began the process of throwing over his second wife, Anne Boleyn
Anne Boleyn’s lavish and magnificent coronation banquet was held in 1533. Over 80 dishes were served during the festivities and one can only imagine that Anne, six months pregnant, must have been exhausted but also overjoyed at having finally attained the ‘mystique of monarchy’ .Westminster Hall was also the setting of Thomas More’s trial where he was charged of High Treason for denying the validity of the Act of Succession.
Eastnor Castle is a mock castle, two miles from the town of Ledbury in Herefordshire, England, by the village of Eastnor.
Many visitors to the church are intrigued by the house behind the wall known as Jericho Priory.
Anne Boleyn stayed on the eve of her coronation in 1533- at the peak of her career. It is also where she enjoyed a number of coronation celebrations and feasts with her husband, Henry VIII, prior to her coronation. In complete contrast to the days prior to her coronation, the Tower is also the setting for Anne’s incarceration and execution. In a terrible twist of fate, Anne Boleyn spent her final days and darkest hours in the same apartments that had played host to lavish celebrations and revelry only three short years before. Also the burial place for some other very famous Tower prisoners including: Catherine Howard, Jane Grey, Sir Thomas More and Bishop John Fisher.
Beaumaris Castle, located in the town of the same name on the Isle of Anglesey in Wales, was built as part of Edward I's campaign to conquer the north of Wales after 1282
Warwick Castle was built in Warwick city, in Warwickshire, next to Avon river. it has been occupied by the Earl of Warwick, one of the most ancient noble ranks.
