According to the Blackadder comedy series Henry VIII's daughter Queen Elizabeth knew of Baldrick played by Tony Robinson. Lol 🤣 hahaha

It’s soooo incredibly heartbreaking to lose such a beautiful structure that had history attached to it! I just think of what all of us lost…. And to see the beautiful fireplace and the doors that had possibly been sold, those were gorgeous super sad!!!

I find it amazing that they would sell off an entire house, room by room! No one cares about such things today and it's all just knocked down and trashed.

but it was the paperwork which contained the evidence of the disappearance of the mansion, and the reason for it, the archeology just found that lots of it has in fact disappeared.

Lyrics to the Henry VIII song called Divorced, Beheaded & Died:<br>"Divorced, beheaded and died<br>Divorced, beheaded, survived<br>I'm Henry the eighth, I had six sorry wives<br>Some might say I ruined their lives<br>Catherine of Aragon was one<br>She failed to give me a son<br>I had to ask her for a divorce<br>That broke her poor heart, of course<br>Young Anne Boleyn, she was two<br>Had a daughter, the best she could do<br>I said she flirted with some other man<br>And off for the chop went dear Anne<br>Lovely Jane Seymour was three<br>The love of a lifetime for me<br>She gave me a son, little Prince Ed<br>Then poor old Jane, went and dropped dead<br>Divorced, beheaded and died<br>Divorced, beheaded, survived<br>I'm Henry the eighth, I had six sorry wives<br>Some might say I ruined their lives<br>Anne of Cleves came at four<br>I fell for the portrait I saw<br>Then laid on her face and cried, "She's a horse!<br>I must have another divorce!"<br>Catherine Howard was five<br>A child of 19, so alive<br>She flirted with others, no way to behave<br>The axe sent young Cath to her grave<br>Catherine Parr, she was last<br>By then all my best days were past<br>I lay on my deathbed aged just 55<br>Lucky Catherine the last stayed alive<br>(I mean, how unfair!)<br>Divorced, beheaded and died<br>Divorced, beheaded, survived<br>I'm Henry the eighth, I had six sorry wives<br>You could say I ruined their lives"<br><br><br>Song by Horrible Histories ‧ 2012<br>Songwriter: Richie Webb

It's not a proper English garden unless it contains digitalis.

Seems like that sold off for not even pennies on the dollar - they must have been really desperate. You’d have thought it would have made more sense to sell the palace with land, still standing.
