In Issue 13 of Tudor Places, we visit Knole, a palace owned by Henry VIII and still lived in by the descendants of Thomas Sackville, 1st Earl of Dorset, learn about the history and architecture of Winchester Cathedral and its seven spectacular chantry chapels, and look at Buckden Palace, owned by the Bishops of Lincoln and briefly home to a banished Katherine of Aragon. We explore the wonderful Long Gallery at Haddon Hall and follow Mary, Queen of Scots from her brutal, ignominious death at Fotheringhay Castle, to reburial in an opulent tomb in the Tudor royal mausoleum at Westminster Abbey.

We speak with Nathen Amin, an author, historian and public speaker, about Tudor Wales, his guide to the many and varied places in Wales with links to the Tudor dynasty, and the importance of place to his research and writing.

We meander through less well-known parts of Tudor Dorset, with a four-day itinerary of castles, churches and manor houses, take a look at the varying styles and materials of the windows at Old Hall, and learn about Professor Susan Doran’s favourite Tudor places.  All of this, plus news, books and more….
