I am not sure whether this have been discussed before but I have been searching high and low for pictures of things that were thought to have belonged to Anne Boleyn.

I had only managed to find Anne's book of Hours but I also heard of a number of other items such as:

A bedhead thought to have been Anne's

A cloak given to Anne by Henry

A goblet with Anne's family crest on it

If anyone happens to have pics or can direct me to a website that might have these or any other possesions, your help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure if much more of her belongings survived after her execution. I'm sure Henry had them destroyed. In Eric Ives' bio of her, there are some awesome pics of some things of hers that have survived….. I'd look there for pics…

There are various Books of Hours that belonged to Anne – one is in the British Library and two are at Hever Castle.

The bedhead which is thought to have been Anne's was not actually made until the Victorian period, so its inscription is fake, but it is also found at Hever.

The goblet is the Boleyn Cup and this can be found at St John the Baptist Parish Church, Cirencester, Gloucestershire – see my post /anne-boleyn-treasures-uncovered/1368/

I'm not sure about the cloak but Henry gave Anne a gold clock which is now at St James's Palace, London.

Hope that helps!

Wow thank you! I spent a good half hour on that page alone, looking at all these amazing artifacts! I am not sure about the cloak either, I recall it being talked about on a website a very long time ago, I will let everyone know if I find anything about it.

I saw a program on Henry on the BBC in the summer, it had a bit to say about Anne's Book Of Hours in the British Library. Anne and Henry left Love notes for each other on the pages, in their long courtship. the program had the opinion that they were very much in Love at that time.

If it was not this, then it would be something else?
