Tomorrow we mark the anniversary of Anne Boleyn’s death. It is difficult to imagine how she must have been feeling, preparing for her life to draw to an unjust and painful, untimely end. Contemporary accounts describe her meeting her end with poise and dignity

Just how beautiful is Knole ?! Who else has visited this incredible property in the Kent countryside? If you haven’t, I would highly recommend it 😍 a truly lovely afternoon ♥️

It was a privilege to play a small part in the send off for a wonderful man today 🐟🦪🥃

I swapped my red Tudor gown and hood for a rather more modern red ensemble for my mother-in-law’s wedding yesterday. A superb day from start to finish ♥️ 👰🏼‍♀️ 🎩 💍

It was my absolute pleasure ♥️

Come and say hello! Find me until Sunday at Alnwick Castle inNorthumberland where I’ll be giving three performances a day. We’ve had a wonderful day today and looking forward to meeting more of you over the coming days and sharing some gorgeous Tudor music ♥️

Behind the scenes of today

Remembering my brother-in-law Lee 20 years after he lost his life in Iraq

James Bramley and I filmed this solo voice and lute version of O My Hart by King Henry VIII at the beautifully atmospheric Alnwick Castle in Northumberland where the resident birds gave me a run for my money with their beautiful singing 🥰

It was such a wonderful afternoon and evening singing some fine Elizabethan music at the incredible and majestic Hardwick Hall and Stainsby Mill yesterday

Non Tudor view here. Dating back to 18thC, the Painted Hall of the Royal Museums Greenwich is divine! It’s school holidays so a day out with my kids today. We are fortunate enough to live close to Greenwich where there is TONS of Tudor history, even if most of the palace no longer survives

Westminster Hall ♥️ I spent some time here yesterday while visiting the Houses of Parliament. Last time I was here I was paying my respects to our late queen as she lay in state awaiting her funeral. It was a moving experience and I was glad I did it despite the queue!

Oh who but my lady Greensleeves

Once upon a time, in a castle far far away

The Time Of Youth (att. Henry VIII) I couldn’t resist the gorgeous courtyard of Alnwick Castle to test out this little song by Henry VIII that I’ve started working on
