For generations, the residents of Collyweston in Northamptonshire have been told stories of a long-lost palace that housed Tudor kings and queens. In 2018, Collyweston Historical and Preservation Society (CHAPS) began a renewed phase of work to find the building and in November 2023 announced its incredible success in doing so.

In Issue 10 Sarah Morris, The Tudor Travel Guide, guides us through a weekend of Tudor history in the ancient city of York, the capital and crowning jewel of North Yorkshire.

York is one of the ‘must visit’ destinations in the North of England, with its history stretching back to the Roman conquest when the Romans founded the walled city of Eboracum as its northern capital. York can boast of being among a select handful of English cities to have most of its medieval walls still intact, and within those walls, wonky medieval buildings and higgledy-piggledy streets abound. The treasure trove of historic buildings makes the city deserving of at least two days of sightseeing if you are to cover all the major historic sites at anything less than break-neck speed.

While we covered York briefly in Issue 2, as part of a six-day tour to Tudor North Yorkshire, lingering a little longer in the city, particularly over the festive season, allows us to dive deeper into its fascinating history at this magical time of year.

St Peter’s Abbey in Gloucester, amongst England’s wealthiest religious houses, had a substantial library of books and manuscripts in the medieval and early Tudor period. Sadly, these were destroyed or dispersed following the Abbey’s dissolution in 1540. In Issue 10, Gloucester Cathedral’s Archivist, Rebecca Phillips, traces the history of the library, following the re-founding of the new Cathedral of Gloucester, and highlights some of the wonderful Tudor books and manuscripts it holds.

In Issue 10 we interview Tim Clark, volunteer guide and Church Historian for the Collegiate Church of St Mary in Warwick, in the West Midlands. St Mary’s is best-known to Tudor history lovers for its spectacular Beauchamp Chapel, the final resting place of Ambrose and Robert Dudley, and of Robert’s wife, Lettice Knollys. Tim is also the author of Faire and Goodly Built: An Incomplete History of St. Mary’s Warwick.

Henry VII created a spectacular family mausoleum in the Lady Chapel at Westminster Abbey, of suitable status for the dynasty he founded. However, despite their intentions, and best efforts, the subsequent image-conscious Tudor monarchs had surprisingly modest burial sites. In this issue, Dr Emma J. Wells considers the final resting places of the children of Henry VIII.

“The first thing that will hit my guests this Christmas is how cold an ancient house can be at Christmas, even with some fires roaring in the fireplaces. A Tudor house might look cosy and romantic in winter photographs, but the truth is, it is not. Preparing for those cosy fires requires several days’ worth of activity.”

Old Hall in north Norfolk is a wonderful Tudor manor house, remarkably unchanged by the passage of subsequent centuries. In every issue of Tudor Places Brigitte Webster shares her experience of living in, and looking after, a Tudor house and garden, throughout the changing seasons.

In Issue 10, Julian Humphrys visits the remains of Thomas Wolsey’s last home.

Nights with gale force winds howling round the house make one understand why 500 years ago they decided against large windows on the southern wall which takes the brunt of the prevailing wind. That was one VERY noisy night!

Henry VIII was a great builder and acquirer of palaces and houses, owning more than sixty when he died, but sadly almost all of them are now long-gone. The sources show that these magnificent palaces were a fitting display of Henry VIII’s power, wealth and status. In this issue we look at ten of Henry VIII’s splendid palaces, an eclectic collection encompassing seats of royal power, royal nurseries, pleasure palaces and retreats from court. They range from the well-known Whitehall, Greenwich and Richmond, to the lesser-known, but nonetheless important, Bridewell Place, Chelsea Manor and Suffolk Place. We explore their layout, the momentous events that happened there, what, if anything, can be seen of them today, and where to see those remains. This beautiful issue would make the perfect gift for lovers of Tudor history. https://bit.ly/40U87T2 #tudorplaces #tudorplacesmag #tudorpalacesmagazine #whitehallpalace #greenwichpalace #bridewellpalace #elthampalace #hatfieldoldpalace #richmondpalace #oatlandspalace #nonsuchpalace #suffolkplace #chelseamanor #henryviii #henryvii #katharineofaragon #anneboleyn #janeseymour #anneofcleves #catherinehoward #catherineparr #edwardvi #elizabethi #maryi

Yesterday we were very lucky to get a sneak peek at the Holbein at the Tudor Court exhibition which is open to the public from TODAY at the Queen’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace.It is absolutely fabulous - and quite breathtaking to see so many sketches and portraits of Holbein's altogether. Some were very familiar but many are much less known and it was a joy to discover them! We picked up this gorgeous illustrated book by Kate Heard, Senior Curator of Prints and Drawings at @royalcollectiontrust, which is also available from their online shop and Amazon. Do visit if you possibly can, it really is a wonderful exhibition. #hansholbein #holbein #tudorcourt #royalcollectiontrust #queensgallery #buckinghampalace #sixteenthcentury #renaissance

In Issue 09, Sarah Morris, The Tudor Travel Guide, whisks us off for a long weekend to explore Pembrokeshire, the birthplace of the Tudor dynasty and a county inextricably linked with the first Tudor monarch: Henry VII. We start off at Lamphey Palace, an idyllic ruin today, it was the likely place where Henry was conceived, before travelling through time to end our journey at the quirky Carew Castle, the seat of one of the heroes of Bosworth, Rhys ap Thomas. From palaces to beaches, castles to cathedrals and churches to Elizabethan houses, with underground tunnels thrown in for good measure, the area is rich with Tudor connections and makes for a fantastic long weekend break. Let’s go exploring! Link in bio. #tudorplaces #tudorplacesmag #tudorplacesmagazine #pembrokeshire #tudorwales #henrytudor #henryvii #jaspertudor #tenby #stdavids #pembrokecastle
