* Bess of Hardwick’s life of letters to go on display<\/a> – Related: Hardwick Hall at the National Trust website<\/a><\/p>\n

* Dr. Stephan Edwards has updated his Lady Jane Grey website Some Grey Matter<\/a> with a new design and new information, including research on The Syon Portrait<\/a><\/p>\n

* The Folger Shakespeare Library’s exhibit Manifold Greatness<\/a> for the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible has a nice online companion site and there is some Tudor history content in the section on the lead-up to James’ reign and creation of the Bible. I was also thrilled to see that the only other US venue for the original version of the exhibition after its run at the Folger will be at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin<\/a>!<\/p>\n

(Updated 04-19-11: I should mention that the exhibition is currently at the Bodleian Library at Oxford until September before it goes to the Folger in Washington D.C. and finally comes to the Harry Ransom Center here in Austin)<\/p>\n

* For my fellow needleworkers, a CBS story visiting the Royal School of Needlework<\/a> at Hampton Court Palace (Hopefully this video will work outside the US. If not, I apologize in advance!)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

* There was a neat article with lots of images<\/a> in the Daily Mail about a new reprint of Braun and Hogenberg’s Cities of the World<\/i>, an atlas from the 16th century. Amazon links below, along with a couple of books that I have with Tudor-era maps that some of you may be interested in:<\/p>\n
