Jousting! Hever Castle.

[Stoneman]

Went to a place called Hever Castle yesterday with the wife, she wanted to walk around the grounds and look at flowers, luckily for me there were knights knocking each other off horses with massive spears...

Thought you chaps might enjoy some quick pics! If you're in the UK and want a day out, I highly recommend it, it runs over each weekend:

ooh the ghost of Anne Boleyn is actually at Hampton Court, in a corridor that connects a small living room to a private chapel. That's where she died, and is know as the proper location for her being a ghost!

pretty sure whichever company owns the place has set up some creepy shape of a woman in one of the glass windows.

Actually she died on Tower Green where she was beheaded by a French swordsman on the order of her husband Henry VIII. She is known to 'haunt' numerous locations, one being Hever castle but also the Tower of London. (<- history teacher here ) It's Catherine Howard, Henry VIII's fifth wife who is known to haunt Hampton Court as she was dragged back to her room there as she heard she was going to be executed on a Bill of Attainder on the order of her husband. (fun fact: Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, the two wives that Henry executed, were cousins)
