I really wish we could just dna test the remains in the Tower so we'd know for sure. I know it's unlikely but it would be nice.

Blickling Hall is less than 8 miles from Salle so, given the family connections, it would not seem out of place. The idea is noted in the book “Notes and Queries” (1858) by B. B. Wiffen, who gives Crispin's account written two weeks after Anne's death. The Norfolk legend is contained in the book “Life of Anne Boleyn” (1842) by Agnes Strickland and Anne's body being being buried in secret is also stated in Francis Lancelot's “The Queens of England” (1858).

Perhaps the best guide could be Thomas Wyatt who said: “God provided for her corpse sacred burial, even in a place as it were consecrate to innocence”. This statement is contained in Stickland's book “Lives of the Queens of England” (1852).  

So you take your choice, but I guess we will never really know.

Wherever Anne is buried, I hope she is resting in peace. Having said that, I can only imagine the logistical nightmare of exhuming Anne's body, moving it from the Tower and then transporting it to Salle or wherever. I'm not sure if I can believe this plot possible, but it does add to the mystique of Anne's legacy.

I've been to the Tower's Chapel to pay my respects. I felt a great obligation to do so. Standing there in front of a plaque with Anne's name was enough for me. She may not lay with her family, but she lies with those, like her, who fell foul of a corrupt political system and paid the ultimate price. In some ways, they were her “brothers in arms.”

Does anyone know when this story first began? Thanks.

Crispin's account of the removal of Anne's body at midnight to Salle was written two weeks after her execution. Crispin, “Lord of Minherve”, is regarded by many as a reliable and unbiased witness. Anne's resting place at Salle is said to be indicated by a plain black stone, without inscription. So far, so good, but as to the practicality of doing this, some doubt must remain, also, as remains were found in the Tower Chapel during excavations in the 19th century, one must ask how Anne's “Ladies” were able to not only remove and transport her body, but also replace it with another.

So, once again, one must make their choice on the evidence given. I know what the romantic in me would like to be true, but I fear the pragmatist in me prevails. 

Whether the remains of Anne Boleyn really do rest in the Chapel of St Peters ad Vincula or whether they are elsewhere, is something we will never know with certainty. But her memorial plaque is there. And, in a sense, perhaps that is all we really need to know. When we pay our respects at the Tower, therefore, it is still well and good.

I went to Salle Church last June and walked all around it but couldn't even locate the tomb of her grandparents, the place is very dilapidated; we even asked several locals walking their dog but they couldn't locate the grandparents' grave, let alone Anne's; I'm going back there in July to see Blickling so am going to stop off at Salle Church again, but I don't hold out much hope

It’s possible. If the body found was not hers but Jane Rochford or Katherine Howard, as there was no remains for Katherine Howard, maybe the coroner made a mistake and it was Anne’s remains missing. Instead of dissolved in quick lime, perhaps taken away and buried elsewhere?

Anne’s there in St. Pete’s. Lol no worries, she’ll be unearthed one day if people start digging. She’s just further down in the floor, after one more skeleton.

There are a lot of rumours concerning the actual resting place of Anne, Perhaps the lack of a proper coffin for Anne was meant to be and not just an over sight by Kingston. Putting Anne’s remains in an old Aroow chest would be easier to get past any guards that were about, where as a coffin couldn’t easily be explained, especially as the guard would have known that an execution had taken place that day. They would simply put 2 and 2 together and make Anne’s body, and the people involved in trying to get her body away would be in the Tower quicker than they could say Damn.
Fact is a lot of bodies were just chucked in the vault without grace or gravy so who knows who is down there. The Victorians did renovated the Chapel, and I believe they did say they found 2 coffins down there, but again that could have been 2 of many and they just picked on KH. and AB because of the fact they were Queens famous, for getting their heads lopped off. I’d like to think she’s down there, but I actually think if she was going to buried somewhere secret it would be in the grounds at Hever.
