Sorry there wasn’t a round-up last week – there weren’t a bunch of articles and I was short on time anyway. So here is a nice assortment of Tudory links for your viewing pleasure!<\/p>\n
* Astley Castle restoration project wins Stirling prize<\/a> – I’ve posted about the efforts to save Astley Castle (which has Tudor history ties) in the past here<\/a> and here<\/a>, so it was nice to see it get this recognition.<\/p>\n * Photos: Astley Castle wins Britain’s biggest architecture award<\/a> – another article about the prize, with a nice photo gallery.<\/p>\n * Lacey Baldwin Smith, a ‘Big Name Historian’, Dies as 90<\/a> – Thanks to Nasim for posting this on Twitter a couple of days ago. I was surprised that I hadn’t already heard about it!<\/p>\n * Richard III: Leicester Cathedral reveals burial plans<\/a> – This was one of the stories that I had in the queue last week and of course the story has stayed in the headlines with the criticism of the design and the continuing battle over where Richard III should be buried. <\/p>\n
