Blickling Hall Всего в списке более 230 объектов. Почётное первое место занимает Blickling Hall из графства Норфолк. Здесь приютилась обезглавленная Анна Болейн – вторая жена Генриха VIII. Королю нужен был продолжатель династии, но с наследником никак не складывалось. Вероятно, поэтому женат он был шесть раз: с двумя супругами развёлся, двух казнил, одна умерла своей смертью…

In the fifteenth century, Blickling Hall was in the possession of Sir John Fastolf of Caister in Norfolk (1380–1459), who made a fortune in the Hundred Years' War , and whose coat of arms is still on display there. Later, the Hall was in the possession of the Boleyn family, and home to Sir Thomas Boleyn , created Earl of Wiltshire, and his wife, Elizabeth , between 1499 and 1505. It is presumed that their first two children Mary and George were born at Blickling Hall, along with several other Boleyn infants who did not live long. If the couple's most famous child, Anne Boleyn , was born before 1505 (as one school of historical thought contends) then she too was born at Blickling . Other historians maintain that Anne was born after 1505, probably in 1507, and by that time Sir Thomas had moved to Hever Castle in Kent . Nonetheless, a statue and portrait of Anne Boleyn reside in Blickling Hall claiming "Anna Bolena hic nata 1507" ( Anne Boleyn born here 1507 ). The current Blickling Hall was built on the ruins of the old Boleyn property in the reign of James I , by Sir Henry Hobart , Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas and 1st Baronet, who bought Blickling from Robert Clere in 1616. The architect of Hatfield House , Robert Lyminge , is credited with the design of the current structure. The Lord Chief Justice married Dorothy, the daughter of Sir Robert Bell of Beaupre Hall , Outwell / Upwell , Norfolk , Speaker of the House of Commons 1572–1576. A grand display of heraldic material is present throughout the estate. History

Перед грозой Генрих VIII любит побродить по другой своей резиденции – Хэмптон Коурт Пэлис . Здесь же обитает Екатерина Говард , ещё одна из его жён, закончивших земной срок на эшафоте. Реже замок навещает Анна Болейн – она «сходит» со своего портрета на втором этаже в полнолуние, с которым совпал момент её казни . Hampton Court Palace

Обветшалую церковь возле Хэмптона снесли в 1829 году, потревожив останки няни принца Эдуарда Сивиллы Пэн . С тех пор вплоть до 1950-го года из её комнаты слышался звук прялки. В 1950-м при проведении ремонтных работ в пристенке рабочие обнаружили старинное прядильное колесо, после чего звуки исчезли. Но, лишённая привычных занятий, няня стала прогуливаться по галереям замка. Hampton Court Palace

Hampton Court Palace is a royal palace in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames , Greater London ; it has not been inhabited by the British royal family since the 18th century. The palace is located 11.7 miles (18.8 km) south west of Charing Cross and upstream of Central London on the River Thames . It was originally built for Cardinal Wolsey , a favourite of King Henry VIII , circa 1514; in 1529, as Wolsey fell from favour , the palace was passed to the King, who enlarged it. The following century, William III 's massive rebuilding and expansion project intended to rival Versailles was begun. [1] Work halted in 1694, leaving the palace in two distinct contrasting architectural styles, domestic Tudor and Baroque . While the palace's styles are an accident of fate, a unity exists due to the use of pink bricks and a symmetrical, albeit vague, balancing of successive low wings. [2] Today, the palace is open to the public, and a major tourist attraction. It is cared for by an independent charity, Historic Royal Palaces which receives no funding from the Government or the Crown. [3] The palace's Home Park is the site of the annual Hampton Court Palace Festival and Hampton Court Palace Flower Show . Along with St. James's Palace , it is one of only two surviving palaces out of the many owned by Henry VIII. Hampton Court Palace

Windsor Castle Мрачный Генрих VIII продолжает скитаться по резиденции британских монархов – Виндзорскому замку. Заложенный ещё в 1066 году Вильгельмом Завоевателем, она расширялся и достраивался на протяжении всей последующей истории. Здесь сочетаются элементы готики, барокко и даже современные элементы, привнесённые после пожара 1992 года. Площадь застройки занимает 26 акров.

Windsor Castle Помимо Генриха VIII здесь разгуливает сумасшедший король Георг III. При жизни он любил материться, совершать бездумные поступки, насиловать служанок. Теперь его амплуа – пугать посетителей. Третий призрак – обезглавленный рыцарь в доспехах. Кто он – истории неизвестно, как неизвестно, является ли он сюда к живущим или к кому-то из призрачных королей. Ныне здравствующие члены венценосного семейства видели здесь призраки Чарльза I и Елизаветы I, окровавленный призрак леди Дороти Уолполл , погибшей здесь в XVIII веке. Говорят, что принцесса Диана когда-то перенесла нервный срыв после встречи с одним из бестелых предков.

Windsor Castle is a medieval castle and royal residence in Windsor in the English county of Berkshire , notable for its long association with the British royal family and for its architecture. The original castle was built after the Norman invasion by William the Conqueror . Since the time of Henry I it has been used by a succession of monarchs and is the longest-occupied palace in Europe. The castle's lavish, early 19th-century State Apartments are architecturally significant, described by art historian Hugh Roberts as "a superb and unrivalled sequence of rooms widely regarded as the finest and most complete expression of later Georgian taste". [1] The castle includes the 15th-century St George's Chapel , considered by historian John Robinson to be "one of the supreme achievements of English Perpendicular Gothic" design. [2] More than five hundred people live and work in Windsor, making it the largest inhabited castle in the world. Originally designed to protect Norman dominance around the outskirts of London, and to oversee a strategically important part of the River Thames , Windsor Castle was built as a motte and bailey , with three wards surrounding a central mound. Gradually replaced with stone fortifications, the castle withstood a prolonged siege during the First Barons' War at the start of the 13th century. Henry III built a luxurious royal palace within the castle during the middle of the century, and Edward III went further, rebuilding the palace to produce an even grander set of buildings in what would become "the most expensive secular building project of the entire Middle Ages in England". [3] Edward's core design lasted through the Tudor period, during which Henry VIII and Elizabeth I made increasing use of the castle as a royal court and centre for diplomatic entertainment. Windsor Castle survived a tumultuous period during the English Civil War , in which the castle was used as a military headquarters for Parliamentary forces and a prison for Charles I . During the Restoration, Charles II rebuilt much of Windsor Castle with the help of architect Hugh May , creating a set of extravagant, Baroque interiors, still praised today. After a period of neglect during the 18th century, George III and George IV renovated and rebuilt Charles II's palace at colossal expense, producing the current design of the State Apartments, full of Rococo , Gothic and Baroque furnishings. Queen Victoria made minor changes to the castle, which became the centre for royal entertainment for much of her reign. Windsor Castle was used as a refuge for the royal family during the bombing campaigns of the Second World War and survived a fire in 1992 . It is a popular tourist attraction, a venue for hosting state visits, and the Queen's preferred weekend home. Windsor Castle
