Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn; how many tales could it tell? Of the affair between Henry VIII and Anne's sister, Mary Boleyn? Visits from Thomas Cromwell, the King's chief fixer? Of the scheming that went on later in Anne and Henry's marriage, when the family faced ruin over allegations of Anne's supposed affairs? Amidst the theme park fun which has been created here for current visitors, it is sobering to reflect on the significant impact this house had on the development of England and the Anglican Church.
