Hever Castle was the childhood home of Queen Anne Boleyn and is now home to portraits and artefacts linked to her, including two Books of Hours.

In this video, Claire interviews Hever Castle supervisor, Owen Emmerson, about these two beautiful books.
Also, on the morning of the 19th May, the anniversary of Queen Anne Boleyn’s execution, Hever Castle invited me to go up on the roof and help hoist Queen Anne Boleyn’s flag! Exciting!

On this day in 1536, the condemned Queen Anne Boleyn’s spirits seemed to have lifted and she was hoping for mercy. Why? What could have made her so hopeful? I look at what happened to Anne on this day and also talks about the five men, who were preparing for their executions. I’m doing these […]
Our last full day on the Anne Boleyn Experience Tour 2019 was perfect in every way. The sun was shining down on us as we left Hever for our day at the Tower of London and it kept shining on us all day. We had a wonderful time at the Tower, enjoying time with our […]
