#OTD, 27 November 1582, William Shakespeare who was just eighteen married Anne Hathaway who was twenty-six years old. Few references to Anne survive, but their relationship remains a source of speculation - and gossip - as Anne was three months pregnant when she married William.

Recently visited St Cross Hospital outside Winchester. England’s oldest almshouse, founded 1130s, still going. The church is late Romanesque transitioning to early Gothic, and completely sublime. My thanks to @GeorgeTrefgarne for the visit!

Whilst Torrigiano was completing Lady Beaufort’s tomb, Henry VIII commissioned him to design the double-tomb of his parents Henry VII & Elizabeth of York, in the Lady Chapel at Westminster Abbey, to sit at the heart of the Tudor mausoleum.

Lady Margaret Beaufort’s impressive tomb is located in the south aisle of her son’s Lady Chapel in Westminster Abbey. The gilt bronze effigy on top of the tomb has a life-like face that was most likely modelled on Lady Beaufort’s death mask.

#OTD, 23 November 1511, Florentine sculptor & painter Pietro Torrigiano signed a contract to create the tomb of Lady Margaret Beaufort. Before this in Italy, he was invited to study in the sculpture garden of Lorenzo de’ Medici, Duke of Urbino, along with Michelangelo Buonarroti.

In Issue 7, Dr Elizabeth Norton explores the remains of this red-brick palace and the momentous events that occurred there. https://t.co/td5jBSDyrJ #HatfieldPark

Elizabeth arrived at Hatfield Old Palace in 1533, when she was two months old. Hatfield served as a royal nursery where she lived with her teenaged half-sister, Princess Mary, and was also a strategic country retreat during the difficult years that her half-siblings reigned.

During the meeting she appointed Sir William Cecil (later Lord Burghley) as her Secretary of State, he would become her most important and trusted advisor for the majority of her reign.
