This beautiful Jacobean house is reputed to be the birthplace of Henry VIII's second wife, Anne Boleyn. Legend has it that each year on the anniversary of her execution (19 May 1536), she glides into the hall carrying her head and roams the corridors until daybreak. The property and its estate are now owned by the National Trust and open to visitors throughout the year.

Oh my! I wonder who lives there now. An amazing house to be born in for sure. She was well off it would seem until she ran into Henry! This is a well framed and beautiful architectural shot.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

What a great post this is Anne-Marie and love the story behind it. Sounds scary but interesting at the same time. Tigs

Are we thinking spring yet?.
Splendid photo, it fills the frame perfectly! The detail is marvelous. The first thing I noticed was so many window panes! Thanks for the historical tidbit, too.

We make a living by what we get; but we make a life by what we give.
A very good post it is, and neat scary story, I gave it a high mark in the VB just awhile ago. good job.

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get" Forrest Gump...kinda relates to photograghy
A masterful shot of this wonderful piece of history AnneMarie. I love the colour of the bricks. Thanks for your narrative too, it is always nice to know the story behind the picture.
Perhaps a good idea not to visit on the anniversary day :)

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

"If I dream I shall be real, or really myself..." Robert Penn Warren
Picture perfect postcard. :o)
Wow, looks like you have the 'Stealth' camera and it's controls reined in now. I just took a quick peek and am delighted that you have posted so many quality images.
I shall keep my admission ticket in hand for the return visits. :o)
Now then ...
I don't think these are easy shots. Not at all. Symmetry issues stand out like a sore thumb ... and I mean what I said above ... this is picture perfect.
You composed this image extremely well Anne-Marie. Wonderful and natural colour saturation. Love the architecture of windows.
This is a veritable visual feast for me ... I shall look at it a long time ... and take in all that you have offered with this beautiful perspective.
Well done.
