The above link states (should it ever disappear):
Detail of a late twentieth-century portrait of Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII. The portrait, which is less than eighteen years old, was specifically made for Castle Lodge, a superb building in the heart of Ludlow, Shropshire. The building dates back to the thirteenth-century though much has been altered since. Today mostly the sixteenth and seventeenth century alterations remain. A series of portraits of prominent Tudor figures, namely Henry VIII’s wives, were made to furnish the house after it was purchased by Mr and Mrs Pearson around eighteen years ago. They were painted by a local artist who, I was told, has since gone on to be well known. I was told by the lovely couple who own the house that the lodgings were originally part of nearby Ludlow Castle though the fortifications attached to the lodgings were destroyed during the Civil War. Cannon balls fired at the lodgings by the parliamentarians can still be found in parts of the walls. The building, which is currently up for sale, has been used for several period dramas, and continues to be open to the public.
