Blickling Hall

Blickling Hall

Blickling Hall is a stately home in Norfolk, England. The Boleyn family owned the original hall from 1499 until 1505. It is thought that Mary and George were born at Blickling but it is not known if Anne was, as her date of birth is still the subject of much discussion. If she was born prior to 1505, as one school of thought suggests, then it is likely she was born at Blickling. But if her birth was post 1505, then it is likely she was born at Hever Castle in Kent.

The current home was built on the ruins of the old Boleyn property during the reign of James I. Although nothing of the original property remains, the grounds are said to play host to the spectre of Anne Boleyn on the anniversary of her execution and that of her father Thomas Boleyn.
