An amazing Tudor find. I hope someone discovers why this was made, for whom, & what it was doing in Warwickshire. #Tudor #detectorist #gold #HenryVIII #KatherineofAragon #histodons @medievodons https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2023/jan/31/metal-detectorist-tudor-gold-pendant-henry-viii-katherine-of-aragon-warwickshire

One of the best surviving fragments of Henry VIII’s privy apartments at Hampton Court Palace, the “Wolsey Closet” provides a glimpse of how colourful and highly decorated those apartments were. In Issue 04, Charles Farris explores the wonders of this small space, where nothing is as it seems.

I'm listening to Alison Weir's historical novel on Katherine of Aragon. I am really liking the Audible books. I already have a favorite reader: Harry Lloyd. He's reading the Fire & Blood books and his voice is really nice. I'm sure I'll come up with others as I'm exposed to more Audible books.
