The Christmas House Bredon Gloucestershire England

admin — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 13:56:05 +0000

Driving through our home village of Bredon in the Cotswolds you may have come across our neighbours beautifully decorated home, celebrating Christmas in a very spectacular way! I took my camera and filmed the winter wonderland in the dead of night on Christmas Eve.
The fields around and the hills of the Cotswolds were silent. A large silver Fox dashed by,curious as to what I was doing there, far too quick for me to film, but made the scene even more magical and surreal. At night the darkness is really black in the Cotswolds, then this glow appears as you near the house. I stood in wonderment for a while, Christmas Night with my own personal light show in one of the most beautiful parts of England!

Hatfield House

admin — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 15:56:12 +0000

Clips on Hatfield House and the nearby area of St Albans.

The documentary is on the whole good although they included a couple of inaccuracies. Elizabeth was not sent to the Tower with Thomas Seymour — instead she was placed under house arrest. She was sent to the Tower during the reign of her sister Mary I. Elizabeth’s governess however Kat Astley, was sent to the Tower along with her cofferer, Thomas Parry.

Also they have randomly stuck in a portrait of Mary, Queen of Scots when they are supposed to be discussing Elizabeth’s relationship with Mary Tudor (aka Mary I of England, Elizabeth’s sister). For some reason the two Marys tend to get mixed up even though they had different surnames and were queens of different countries. Plus they met different ends.

From December 1548, Elizabeth had her own household (numbering around 120-140 people) which was based mostly at Hatfield. She acquired this property from the Lord Protector of the realm (the Duke of Somerset) and preferred this residence to her other one at Ashridge. It was at Hatfield that she learnt the news that her sister Mary had died and that she was queen. As Mary lay dying the roads to Hatfield were full of people trying to see the soon to be queen and offer her their allegiance in the hope of self advancement.

The traditional tale of Elizabeth standing under an oak tree in Hatfield park when she received the news that she was queen is a popular story, but one that was unfortunately invented around seventy years after the event itself. However Elizabeth was at Hatfield when she received the news so perhaps she was greeted in the gardens or within the house itself.

The documentary mentions that several items belonging to Elizabeth, still survive at Hatfield. There is also another pair of Elizabeth’s gloves that can be seen today at Berkeley Castle in South Gloucestershire. Plus they also house one of Elizabeth’s embroidered purses and a bed cover used on the bed she slept in during one of her stays there.
