Description
Set
in the beautiful Gloucestershire Cotswolds, Sudeley Castle exemplifies
popular perceptions of the romantic English country house. The final
resting place of King Henry VIII's last wife, Katherine Parr, it is
partly castellated and its centuries-old ruins are festooned with roses.
This book, the first comprehensive publication about this remarkable
castle, traces over 1,000 years of illustrious history from the time of
King Aethelred the Unready through the castle's Tudor heyday and its
subsequent decline and fall, before its dramatic rescue during the
second half of the 19th century by the Dent-Brocklehurst family, whose
descendants still live there. Sudeley's architectural heritage, art and
gardens are all described and illustrated by historical material as well
as stunning new photography.
