The Legend of Henry VIII
Henry VIII was born and raised as an incredibly devout Roman Catholic man. But upon the death of his brother, the 11 year old Henry’s life is turned upside down. From this point onwards, the heavy burden of the succession would become his to bear. Despite being granted ‘Defender of the Faith’, Henry would soon turn the country upside down and change history forever on his personal quest to fufil his desire to father a legitimate male heir. This path of Love and death would quickly lead to several failed marriages. It’s hard to discern the man from the myth. But it's easy to see that Henry VIII has become the most infamous English King, and is remembered half a millennium later for his romantic passion and his tyrannous rule.
The Ghost of Anne Boleyn
Every year on the eve of the 19th of May, the air at Blickling Hall, Norwich, goes ice cold. In a centuries-old tale, on this night, the spectre of Anne Boleyn makes contact with our earthly realm. The story goes that as the night falls on the anniversary of the ill-fated Queen’s death, you can spot her ghost riding up to Blickling Hall in a coach driven by a headless horseman. Anne is seen, dressed in pure white, slowly being drenched in blood from holding her screaming decapitated head in her lap. As the phantom horses gallop towards the great hall, suddenly, they disappear into thin air. This gruesome story is one of many that have persisted since the execution of the Tudor queen. Her restless spirit has earned the title of the most travelled ghost in England, a country notorious for centuries of horrible history and haunted locations. Blickling Hall, where Anne is believed to have been born, is just one of many significant sites that have become paranormal hot spots- even close to 500 years on.
