Kimbolton Castle

Today our photography group visited Kimbolton Castle. Today this is a school, but there has been a castle here since the 12th century. Katherine of Aragon was held here before she died and is buried in Peterborough Cathedral.
Part of the castle collapsed and was rebuilt. The owner had Pellegrini brought over from Italy to decorate the castle. This staircase has the best Pellegrini murals in England.

@happysnaps @merrelyn @carolmw Thanks for commenting. Fancy being headmaster and having your study in what was Katherine of Aragon's bedchamber.

@flowerfairyann @busylady Thank you for your lovely comments. There were also murals on the ceiling and another walk but I thought this was the best view.
