Early 1530's -
Katherine, now a young, relatively poor widow, stayed with family at Sizergh Castle.
She was later to marry King Henry VIII

I’m not sure what happened to Thomas Seymour’s stained glass representation in the chapel at Sudeley Castle, but it looks like a pretty precise hit 😳

Catherine Parr’s beautiful tomb in the chapel in the grounds of Sudeley Castle. Catherine’s grave was initially neglected (something of an understatement) but she was eventually given this fine monument in the 19thC #catherineparr #katherineparr #sudeley #tudor
Selfie with Catherine Parr at Sudeley Castle today. She looks thrilled to see me 😆 #sudeleycastle #catherineparr #katherineparr #sudeley
