  • © Licensed to London News Pictures. 13/10/2018. Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, UK. Sudeley Castle. Archaeologists from DigVentures working on site, hoping to unearth a long-lost Tudor garden at Sudeley Castle this weekend. Best-selling historical novelist Dr Philippa Gregory will also be joining the team. Philippa, who’s well-known works include The Other Boleyn Girl and The White Queen, started her research into Sudeley Castle whilst working on a novel about Katherine Parr. For nearly 1,000 years, Sudeley Castle has hosted some of England’s most famous monarchs including Henry VIII. It is also where Katherine Parr, Henry’s last wife, later lived and was finally laid to rest. A recent geophysical survey at Sudeley revealed the ghostly outline of a long-lost Tudor garden, with traces of what could have been a banqueting house in the same area where pieces of Tudor masonry were found in the 19th century. Now experts say it is time to investigate further. The dig will take place at this Saturday and Sunday, October 13 and 14, and is thought to be the most significant archaeological investigation since the discovery of Roman villas on the estate in Victorian times. A specialist team from social archaeology company, DigVentures, will begin an investigation of the site, which aims to ‘ground-truth’ the geophysics results. They hope to reveal some of the Tudor secrets that remain hidden underground at the castle. Following the popular landscaping movement inspired by Capability Brown, many Tudor gardens were lost, and this is perhaps just one of only two in England where the original paths remain visible.

Picture of DEREK MADDOCK, Sudeley Castle Archivist, holding a book with wife of Henry VIII Katherine Parr's formal signature beside life-size glass-engraved portrait of Katherine Parr by critically acclaimed artist, John Hutton. Treasures from Sudeley Castle’s 1,000 year history have gone on show in a new exhibition. Called ‘Royal Sudeley 1,000, Trials, Triumphs and Treasures’, the newly refurbished exhibition includes a collection of priceless objects and curiosities. The exhibition includes a one-of-a-kind, life-size glass-engraved portrait of Katherine Parr by critically acclaimed artist, John Hutton. The artwork was re-discovered during the refurbishment of a holiday cottage on the estate, where it had been for decades. Its importance has now been realised and so it has been brought into the exhibition collection. Numerous items of historic significance are also on display, such as a lock of Katherine Parr’s hair, her prayer book and an intricate lace christening canopy believed to have been worked on by Anne Boleyn for the christening of her daughter, Elizabeth I. Sudeley was a royal residence, closely associated with some of the most famous English monarchs, including Edward IV, Richard III, Henry VIII, Lady Jane Grey, Katherine Parr, Elizabeth I and Charles I. The Castle was even home to a secret Queen of England, Eleanor Boteler, whose royal status was unknown for centuries. Photo credit: Simon Chapman/LNP

Archaeologists from DigVentures hope to unearth a long-lost Tudor garden at Sudeley Castle this weekend. Best-selling historical novelist Dr Philippa Gregory will also be joining the team. Philippa, who’s well-known works include The Other Boleyn Girl and The White Queen, started her research into Sudeley Castle whilst working on a novel about Katherine Parr. For nearly 1,000 years, Sudeley Castle has hosted some of England’s most famous monarchs including Henry VIII. It is also where Katherine Parr, Henry’s last wife, later lived and was finally laid to rest. A recent geophysical survey at Sudeley revealed the ghostly outline of a long-lost Tudor garden, with traces of what could have been a banqueting house in the same area where pieces of Tudor masonry were found in the 19th century. Now experts say it is time to investigate further. The dig will take place at this Saturday and Sunday, October 13 and 14, and is thought to be the most significant archaeological investigation since the discovery of Roman villas on the estate in Victorian times. A specialist team from social archaeology company, DigVentures, will begin an investigation of the site, which aims to ‘ground-truth’ the geophysics results. They hope to reveal some of the Tudor secrets that remain hidden underground at the castle.

Sudeley Castle's ‘Royal Sudeley 1,000, Trials, Triumphs and Treasures’; an open book with the formal signature of Katherine Parr, wife of Henry VIII. Treasures from Sudeley Castle’s 1,000 year history have gone on show in a new exhibition. Called ‘Royal Sudeley 1,000, Trials, Triumphs and Treasures’, the newly refurbished exhibition includes a collection of priceless objects and curiosities. The exhibition includes a one-of-a-kind, life-size glass-engraved portrait of Katherine Parr by critically acclaimed artist, John Hutton. The artwork was re-discovered during the refurbishment of a holiday cottage on the estate, where it had been for decades. Its importance has now been realised and so it has been brought into the exhibition collection. Numerous items of historic significance are also on display, such as a lock of Katherine Parr’s hair, her prayer book and an intricate lace christening canopy believed to have been worked on by Anne Boleyn for the christening of her daughter, Elizabeth I. Sudeley was a royal residence, closely associated with some of the most famous English monarchs, including Edward IV, Richard III, Henry VIII, Lady Jane Grey, Katherine Parr, Elizabeth I and Charles I. The Castle was even home to a secret Queen of England, Eleanor Boteler, whose royal status was unknown for centuries. Photo credit: Simon Chapman/LNP

Queen Katherine Parr was among eight historic reenactors from Past-Times Living History who visited the Castle to celebrate its reopening after being closed for winter and also marked the historic tradition of Pancake Day, which has its origins in Tudor times. The tradition of making pancakes is long, and featured in cookery books as far back as 1439. The tradition of tossing or flipping them is almost as old. The castle and gardens are now open for the season. Sudeley Castle was one of the Tudors’ most treasured palaces, often housing those closest to the crown. It’s where Anne Boleyn stayed with Henry VIII while he decided to dissolve the monasteries, and where Katherine Parr, Henry’s last wife, lived after he died. She now lies entombed in the Castle’s church. Photo credit: Simon Chapman/LNP
