Anthony Pickering writes to Lord Lisle:
this present day the Queen was put to death within the Tower in the presence of a thousand people.

Yes, it was fun when it looked new! Much gentler now.

It’s showing wear. It was done in 1984-5, this pic from 1987 (I can’t find one right now of beams with roses but this is another wall in same room). Artist was using 15thc techniques as far as possible but it was a learning experience & wore faster than expected. Mellow now but was pretty intense!

Our local cheese, Suffolk Thump was said to be so hard you could use it in place of shot if you ran out, so….

I can see why it might be. Thomas Hopper at his best! 🙂

This seems very reasonable to us, both the owning and using part.

Look forward to seeing you!

Wonderful photos!

Thank you, beautiful photos!

Entertaining Henry is performing 20-22 June at The Quay Theatre in Sudbury, Suffolk - three days, six plays, one king. There is a discount if you book for more than one day, and plenty else to do in the area - Kentwell Hall is down the road with Tudor re-enactments that weekend! #history #pilgrimage
