Wax Figure of Henry VIII. Photo June 2000
This was at Brading – The Experience waxworks museum on the Isle of Wight, the same place as the one of Elizabeth I that posted in Picture of the Week #116. I poked around to see what had become of the site since the museum closed and it looks like the newer parts were demolished last year for a housing development and the historic building is being repurposed.
Hmmm…Why doesn’t Henry look like Eric Bana or Jonathan Ryes-Myers??? LOL
Will say, I always get a start when seeing Henry and he looks nothing like Keith Michell!! Keith was ‘my’ Henry when growing up.
Yeah, Keith Michell is pretty much “my” Henry as well. 🙂
When the waxworks closed down they sold off everything and I have to wonder if someone bought ol’ Henry and has him propped up in the corner of their living room or something…
It’s just not Henry without a codpiece!
