Originally, built as a royal garrison to defend the Normans from potential uprisings, Sudeley is much more tranquil today.</p> <p>In 1535, Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn visited the castle and following King Henry VIII’s death, his son, King Edward VI, granted Sudeley to his uncle, Thomas Seymour.</p> <p>Thomas Seymour married Katherine Parr and the couple moved into into Sudeley Castle accompanied by their ward, Lady Jane Grey.</p> <p>Tragically, only seven days after the birth of Katherine and Thomas’s daughter, Mary, Katherine died and is now buried in the chapel of St Mary at Sudeley.</p> <p>This year Sudeley is hosting some wonderful historical, literary and musical events as part of the Katherine Parr Quincentenary Festival.

The exhibition is part of a series of exciting events planned to celebrate Katherine’s life and mark the five hundred years since her birth.</p> <p>I must say that Sudeley is one of the most atmospheric and beautiful places I have ever visited and you’ll notice that it is the Chapel of St. Mary at Sudeley that features prominently on my website’s header.</p> <p>Thank you Debbie!</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Queen Katherine Parr Quincentenary</strong></p> <p>This year Sudeley Castle is celebrating the life of Queen Kateryn Parr with a series of special events and exhibitions to mark the 500 years since the birth of this remarkable woman.</p> <p>Katherine Parr is best known for being Henry VIII’s surviving queen, but through the exhibitions on show we find out more about the life and loves of Katherine and her time at Sudeley. I was surprised to learn that KP stood 6 feet tall, almost unheard of in Tudor times. It is no wonder she caught Henry’s eye at court – towering above the other ladies. Katherine was also a published author and you can view original copies of her work on display for the first time. In KP’s book of lamentations you can see she has signed her name, Kateryn the Queen KP.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"> <p><div id="attachment_4893" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KPs-Book-of-Lamentations1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4893" class="size-medium wp-image-4893 " title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KPs-Book-of-Lamentations1-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KPs-Book-of-Lamentations1-300x225.jpg 300w, https://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KPs-Book-of-Lamentations1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KPs-Book-of-Lamentations1.jpg 1854w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-4893" class="wp-caption-text">Katherine Parr's Book of Lamentations © Debbie Fenton</p></div></p> <p>Also on display are love letters written to Thomas Seymour and items taken from her tomb when it was opened in 1782 which include a lock of auburn hair and a tooth! (In very good condition I might add) The exhibition ends with a short film by Dr David Starkey where we learn more about Katherine and her time at Sudeley and why she felt compelled to marry Henry when she was in love with Thomas Seymour.</p> <p><div id="attachment_4895" style="width: 235px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KPs-Closet-Window.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4895" class="size-medium wp-image-4895 " title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KPs-Closet-Window-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" srcset="https://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KPs-Closet-Window-225x300.jpg 225w, https://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KPs-Closet-Window-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KPs-Closet-Window.jpg 1854w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-4895" class="wp-caption-text">Katherine Parr's Closet Window © Debbie Fenton</p></div></p> <p>The next part of the KP trail takes you to the South Hall and Katherine’s private rooms, which are open to the public for the first time in five years. If like me you like to soak up the atmosphere of an historic place and imagine the conversations that have taken place within the walls, then you will enjoy this experience the most. You ascend a staircase to the only remaining rooms from the original castle that KP lived in. (No photography sadly as my partner found out when he took a snap then was fiercely reprimanded by the guide!). There is a beautiful closet with a stained glass window that allows light to flood in, giving the room a very happy feel. The idyllic views across the garden as Katherine would have seen them, lead on to her private chapel in the church of St Mary. In the window stands a mannequin of Lady Ann Herbert, KP’s sister who was her groom of the stool, who according to the display, assisted KP with the very important job of wiping her bottom!</p> <p><div id="attachment_4896" style="width: 235px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="http://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KPs-Private-Tudor-Door.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4896" class="size-medium wp-image-4896 " title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KPs-Private-Tudor-Door-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" srcset="https://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KPs-Private-Tudor-Door-225x300.jpg 225w, https://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KPs-Private-Tudor-Door-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KPs-Private-Tudor-Door.jpg 1854w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-4896" class="wp-caption-text">Katherine Parr's private door © Debbie Fenton</p></div></p> <p>As you descend the staircase you are invited to exit the castle through the very door that KP would have used to make the short walk to her private chapel to carry out her daily devotions. An added moment of excitement ensues when you are told that the door has remained until now unopened since Tudor times. Now you can make your way to the church for the most poignant part of the trail.</p> <p>Inside the church of St Mary’s, alongside KP’s tomb, you will see a peaceful Katherine lying in state surrounded by candles. She is being watched over by her young chief mourner, Lady Jane Grey. I found this moment quite haunting and a fitting end to the trail.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"> <p><div id="attachment_4897" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KP-Lying-in-state.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4897" class="size-medium wp-image-4897 " title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KP-Lying-in-state-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KP-Lying-in-state-300x225.jpg 300w, https://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KP-Lying-in-state-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KP-Lying-in-state.jpg 1854w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-4897" class="wp-caption-text">Katherine Parr lying in state © Debbie Fenton</p></div></p> <p>There are more special events planned for this year, including talks with Dr David Starkey and Alison Weir, and also a re-enactment of Queen Katherine’s funeral.</p> <p>The exhibitions are on a small scale, but I found them to be intimate, atmospheric and engaging. I left feeling closer to Katherine, and I will certainly now give her as much thought as I do all my other favourite Tudor people.</p> <p>By Debbie Fenton<br /> </p> <p><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share#url=https%3A%2F%2Fonthetudortrail.com%2FBlog%2F2012%2F04%2F13%2Fthe-queen-katherine-parr-quincentenary%2F&title=The%20Queen%20Katherine%20Parr%20Quincentenary" data-a2a-url="https://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/2012/04/13/the-queen-katherine-parr-quincentenary/" data-a2a-title="The Queen Katherine Parr Quincentenary"><img src="https://static.addtoany.com/buttons/share_save_120_16.png" alt="Share"></a></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/2012/04/13/the-queen-katherine-parr-quincentenary/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>10</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>My Tudor photos</title> <link>https://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/2010/05/29/my-tudor-photos/</link> <comments>https://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/2010/05/29/my-tudor-photos/#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Natalie]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 29 May 2010 11:58:12 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Tudor Trail and Treasures]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Burghley House]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hampton Court Palace]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hatfield House]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hever Castle]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Penshurst Place]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Rochford Hall]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Stratford Upon Avon]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sudeley Castle]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Thornbury castle]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tower of London]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Westminster Abbey]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Windsor Castle]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/?p=210</guid> <description><![CDATA[For all of you that may be interested, I have just uploaded close to 300 photos that I took on my ‘Tudor pilgrimage’ trip last year.
