Hampton Court – Anne Boleyn

Some people love her, others think she ruined England, some believe she was manipulated and used, others believe she was the master manipulator.

No matter what your opinion, one thing is undeniably true. King Henry was obsessed with her. He changed the face of England for her, to be with her.

If you have ever been to Hampton Court, you can still see evidence of his love for her. Just walk through Anne Boleyn’s Gateway…

Look up…there hidden in the design you will still see King Henry and Anne Boleyn’s initials. After her death, King Henry had everything removed and replaced with his and Jane Seymour’s initials, but these were overlooked and forgotten.

Look closely at 11 and 5 o’clock places and you can see the H & A…a reminder for all time of the passionate, all consuming love that he had for her.
