Wednesday May 19, 2021
Wednesday May 19, 2021
Dr Owen Emmerson and Claire Ridgway are excited to announce the release date of their forthcoming book, "The Boleyns of Hever Castle".
It will be released as a coffee-table style book and ebook on 1st August 2021 and Owen and Claire are launching it with a special talk and book signing at the Festival Theatre, Hever Castle, on that date.Book your ticket at https://heverfestival.co.uk/index.php/the-boleyns-of-hever-castle/
---------------------
Hever Castle is a picture-postcard fortified manor house nestled in the Kent countryside. It is, of course, famous for its links with the Boleyns, an East Anglian gentry family who rose and fell dramatically at the court of King Henry VIII.
In The Boleyns of Hever Castle, historians Dr Owen Emmerson and Claire Ridgway invite you into the home of this notorious family.
Travel back in time to those 77 years of Boleyn ownership. Tour each room just as it was when Anne Boleyn retreated from court to escape the advances of Henry VIII or when she fought off the dreaded ‘sweat’. See the 16th century Hever Castle come to life with room reconstructions and read the story of the Boleyns, who, in just five generations, rose from petty crime to a castle, from Hever to the throne of England...
