Even when we were learning about crop rotations, he managed to mention the Reformation ha!

I've always felt sorry for Catherine of Aragon and the way it all turned out for her, but the majority of the other wives as pawns in the game of thrones had an even worse outcome! How fascinating to come across a connection in Finchampstead Ridges - a great place for walking.

I'm intrigued by Catherine of Aragon ever since I visited Coughton Court and saw a beautiful needlework cape supposedly made by Catherine.

I remember seeing Catherine's tomb in Peterborough Cathedral on a number of occasions when we lived near there, often it had a pomegranate left on it as a token, part of her coat of arms I think:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474013784443507959.post-87296276255385430692016-03-10T10:56:00.541+00:002016-03-10T10:56:00.541+00:00Great - thank you.
