Another Tudor property up for sale
Yet another interesting property up for sale to add to the list that I’ve blogged about. It’s probably a good thing I don’t have a ton of money, since I’d never be able to decide what place to buy! 
From the BBC:
Henry VIII’s love nest for sale
A property where newlywed Henry VIII stayed with his second wife Anne Boleyn has gone on the market after being rebuilt from a state of near collapse
The gatehouse on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent is all that remains of Shurland Hall, the Tudor palace owned by a courtier of the King, Thomas Cheyney.
It was probably built especially for Henry and Anne’s visit, when the King spent three days hunting.
The Spitalfields Trust has restored it and put it up for sale for £2m.
There is a video at the link worth checking out.
I was planning to blog about this yesterday before I got side-tracked and was going to include a rant about fact-checking and tell you all to fire up the keyboards for some more correction emails… but they beat me to it and fixed the article before I posted. In the original, they had the date of Henry and Anne’s marriage as 1530 and the date of her execution as 1533. oops!

It would be pretty amazing to own one of Henry VIII’s homes. Sadly, I do not have a spare £2 million to spare.
