Ground chalk...centuries ago, lacemaker ladies stored their lace in ground chalk to keep it dry and prevent it from getting dingy and yellow. They would put a layer of ground chalk, then a single layer of their completed lace, then sprinkle chalk on top of the lace, and so on in layers. When a prospective customer wanted to see the lace to buy it, the lacemaker would have to go outside and shake the chalk off of the lace.
Anne kept her head and her dignity and it seems lived a full and sumptuous life....marvellous.
HAHAHA If you call that dignity
Hurrah for Anne of Cleves! Such a pleasure to know that she put one on Henry.
She was very bright and realized she’d better befriend him!
How did she put one on him???
I wish we knew more about the Ann of Cleves she seemed like a gentle women
No, I haven’t. Mostly have read David Starkey books about the Tudors.
But now that you’ve dropped her name I will certainly do some research on her.
Thank you so much for responding to my comment. It’s so nice when a creator takes the time to do this.
Thank you 🙏
Truly Amazing and meant to be, just like the stunning Alter cloth that turned out to be Queen Elizabeth 1st gown, It does make you wonder what else of historical significance lays in plain sight unrecognised for many century’s. ❤️
It’s so interesting to hear things about Henry’s wives that have nothing to do with him and just their marriage.
So glad you enjoyed it.
A marriage that didn’t last long but an interesting life that did.
Not such a horrible marriage..she got out “alive” Lived well and an honored tomb!
miriam kellner at least she got out alive. But rumours still spread about her “smell” which is quite sad.
Kandy Kandy Interesting, the marriage did last about a year but I suppose she might have a good bond with Henry?
I might have to do some more research about Anne.
But good to know.
Kandy Kandy, okay? I don’t know how we ended up in body types but I guess that’s something I learned.
I did some more research on Anne.
I thought Henry just left her alone after they divorced, but I guess I was wrong from the research I was doing.
I just want to say: before I made my comment, I had very little information on Anne with her marriage with Henry and her life.
My comment was not meant to offend anyone, if it did then I am very sorry.
More information about the rumours about her “smell”.
I believe that Henry made it up for the sake of his manhood.
Anne is my favourite person that was one of Henry’s lovely friends.
Thank you for reading, this whole thing was not meant to offend anyone 😇😅
Kandy Kandy oh, that’s what you’re trying to tell me, now I know.
But the reason why I think my comment offended someone was because I rudely said something about Anne’s marriage.
Another reason is your uses of capital letters.
Upon my research, I now know that Anne was more than an “Ex-wife of Henry”. She is a greatly respected woman still to this day, and she was a great friend with Henry.
Anne outlived him but still lived an incredible life.
Fascinating! Thank you, Ms. Darsie. How wonderful to uncover telling details and a lot more information about "the lucky one!"
Philippa's challenge answer: fingerprints!!
Hi, it was a great adventure! Actually, I think you are confusing me with Heather Darsie? I am Sarah Morris, 'The Tudor Travel Guide'. Heather has written a great book on Anne, so I am flattered by the compliment!😃
I don't know why I love these old English historical videos but for some reason I do. I'm just an old cowboy here in Abilene Texas and it is one of my interests to read about the royal family and the history of England. God know I would not want to be a royal and put up with all that pomp and ceremony they are forced to endure. But I do think Kate will make a hot looking queen. Anyway, my dad was stationed there during WWII and flew B-17 bombers from several different airfields over there, he loved England and maybe that is why I love reading about your country.
rickmaggie1 hey, maybe you have a relative there (dad ww11). Not too strange thinking about the history! Just a thought..
Love her , would love to have met her , such a survivor
Absorbing - so interesting. I applaud your tenacity.
great mini documentary.
I think a film could be made of her life. I love the great divorce settlement she got from Henry.
I hope too hollywood movie make Anne of cleaves movies ❤
Absolutely fascinating, i'd love to visit all of these locations one day, Anne of Cleves is so underrated in my opinion, not many people seem to be interested in her!
She was my favorite of all the wives.
Sara Decapua mine too. And she definitely lucked out.
Anne of Cleves club!! Favorite queen and got the best ending!
@Kandy Kandy not true! She had a life before she married that fat insensitive dolt!😏
My previous comment on this video was misunderstood but I could understand why.
I edited the comment for no more further misunderstandings.
At the time I made my previous comment, I had little information about Anne, and that was rude for me to even assume that she was one of Henry’s poor wives. Anne was more than that, she was a powerful woman that was well respected by others.
To erase my mistake, I did some research on Anne.
Anne and Henry remained friends after their divorce, and Henry had a great, friendly relationship with Anne over time! Anne was a very rich woman and was respected by others.
Anne was not just “one of Henry’s wives”, to others, she was lovely.
She was different to the other women Henry married, but she remained to Henry’s rules, so to thank her, he showered her with gifts.
She remained unmarried after her divorce with Henry, and outlived him and his wives. She also attended Mary’s (known as Bloody Mary or Mary I) coronation!
My previous comment was not meant to offend anyone, if it did then I am very sorry.
More information about the rumours about her “smell”.
I personally don’t believe about the smell thing. I believe (and many other do) that Henry made that rumour up as an excuse to not bed her at their wedding night, because of his condition.
For short, Henry made it up for the sake of his manhood.
Anne is by far, my favourite person that knew Henry as a friend than as a ex-husband. And I would not disrespect her. God bless her soul.
Thank you for reading!
I think the smell was Henry himself
Cassandra lol, what a twist 😂
Fascinating historic account, loved every minute. Thank you both very much.
I LOVE ANNE OF CLEVES!
He liked her for sure too, just lack of affections ( I guess).
Anne was quite the lady. She kept her dignity thru a happy life that remained in close ties to the king and his children.
Fascinating. Thank you. Strange how the study of objects can teach us so much about people.
I love Johnathan Foyl, he's so interesting, I could listen to him all day
Me too!
What a lovely story, thankyou
Marvellous.... must add that I very much enjoyed the period music
Oh!!! Those panels. 🙏🏻❤️ Thankfully. We still look for treasures in the name of history
Absolutely love this! ❤️❤️ thank you so much for all your research and your hard work on bringing us these informative videos!
Imagine how much gold or woodwork and jewels out there have such amazing origins.
Thank you! For sharing all your research. What a fantastic journey to have taken. ❤️
What a delight! The narrators have such an inviting, natural affect with the camera and I enjoyed the relaxed pace of the show. Thanks for posting!
Anne's good sense saved her from an untimely end at the hands of the monster Harry 8, sad though that whilst escaping his clutches she never had the chance of a happy married life.
Facnitating ,just wonderful, how you must have loved learning all this,,, good on You
Fascinating!
Six minutes in and I think I've seen 20 seconds of the panels and 5:40 seconds of the narrators. Each time you cut to the panels I swear it's only 5 seconds and then I'm looking at the face of the narrator again.
Maggie May that’s what the pause button is for.
Juicy Fruit you're so clever! 👏👏👏
And also it’s so d-m dark! Didn’t they think of something, what is it called....oh, yes, LIGHTING????
I agree, & what a sickly sweet pair they make.
I like Anne of Cleves she's genuine
Just found your channel, your content is so fascinating and professional thank you so much for bringing to life our wonderfully rich history, can’t wait to watch all your videos 👏👏new subscriber
Fabulous video! Thanks so much for sharing!
Really enjoyed watching that Sarah. What a fantastic voyage of discovery...well done for following your instincts! Your passion for the subject shines through.
I love Anne of Cleves
Great documentary
Thank you for this video. I enjoyed it very much. History is so interesting
I used to love watching Time Team!!!
Anything marked A C would most likely be English in origin since Germans wouldn't spell anything with CL at the front of a word. In German it would be KL.
Stunning let’s hope they are being protected properly and don’t get stolen
What a totally fascinating story, I must say I enjoyed every minute, thank you for sharing it with us.
She certainly was Anne of Clever!
Wonderful
Amazing love this
What a bit of luck the panel came up for auction at Bonhams. Such a fascinating story being told here. By the way, as I am working my way through your videos I am getting some links to other videos about Tudor times coming up. I am going to be busy watching them too!.
🌺🌷👏🏼Fascinating story, brilliant sleuthing, GORGEOUS old church., delightful Tudor soundtrack, and it was a nice touch to get George Clooney to do the analysis. ⭐️
😂
Wow! Loved this documentary on the Anne of cleves panels! Very well explained and filmed and produced ! Jonathan explained everything beautifully as did you Sarah! How fabulous I have seen this panel twice how at Hever always gives me a shiver as I think she was very clever settling from the king and came out the best of his wives !
I love this time period
fascinating!
Amazing...
💖👑👑💖🎬📽🎥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The truth will always out , no matter how long it takes .
This is so fascinating to me. I was curious as to all of the carvings throughout these homes in the Tudor period. Are these people talented, self taught? The work is stunning as this day and time nothing is done to this degree. I so enjoy these videos! Thank you
They had young apprentices, senior apprentices, master craftsman....
Isn't Hever Castle the home of Anne Boleyn? So Anne of Cleves has a panel that ends up there??? Wow!
Patricia Greenlee Hever Castle was one of the many estates Henry VIII gave her as a gift for consenting to the annulment if I remember correctly. I remember reading about how she was given a castle/ a manor that was “once the home of Henry’s former in-laws, the Boleyns”.
Yes that’s correct and after Edward reduced her annual stipend and basically took back Richmond or forced her to give it up she spent a lot more time at Hever
Idk why it's so hard to find info on Anne of Cleves? I'm so curious to know as much about her as the other queens of H8 but there is such limited info and only a few paintings. I wish I knew more. Does anyone know a place to find more info on her??

How interesting. The Ecce Homo after Il Barbieri caught my attention! Odd surely for a 19th century church in England. If the Church is of that date????
What an interesting story. When will your book come out?
Shes the only reason king henry survived.
Really good program, but I have two suggestions (ok, 3): 1) the music is too loud, the volume should be better balanced with the rest of the program so that we viewers don’t have to constantly adjust it; and 2) it would be better if we got at least one long look (at least 15-20 seconds) of a close-up of the panels. Otherwise, good job, interesting and enjoyable. Also, as a non-British viewer, I think it would be great to show the important place names once in a caption, and maybe a location map or name the county within Britain - even though I played it back, and turned on the captioning, I still couldn’t quite catch the name of the town, village or city of this church.
Jonathan Foyle....what a man. Handsome and clever, with an attractive voice and a natural teaching gift.
Would carvings like this have the artist's initials or some other mark the way a painting or a piece of carved marble would?
No. In those days only truly unique pieces of art were signed by the maker. This is craftsmanship, not free art. Looking at the huge number of panels, the workshop must have been a production place where several craftsmen would have worked on each panel. One would do the crowns, another the flowers, yet another the hair of the lions,
In cathedrals the carved stones were marked not to show who made them, but to get payment for production. They are marked where you cannot see it afterwards, and they were made by a single craftsman. The marks are symbols only intended for the administration.
Branding items as advertisement of the workplace only started slowly at the end of the 16th century.
The eight-pointed "star" design reminds me strongly of a figure from old Germanic/Norse cultures called an Ægishjálmar. It was to prompt fear in the beholder and protect the wearer, being itself a helm. Some believe this ancient symbol is the source of the Pennsylvania Dutch (i.e., German-American) Hex signs painted on barns for protection. Carvings in stone of the Ægishjálmar and other helms are found in Ireland. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_Dutch_Country#/media/File:Flickr__-Nicholas_T-__Barn_Style_(2).jpg
With my Family history, I found that Elizabeth Woodville is in my Family History and that Henry VIII turns out to be my 1st Cousin a few times removed
I have a question, does anyone know the reason Elizabeth went to live with Katherine Parr instead of Anne of Cleves? She would have been a lot happier living with Anne than she was with Katherine. And I know Elizabeth and Mary both had gotten close to Anne.
I've read a couple of books, but my main source of info was Elvie Hale's portrayal in The Six Wives Of Henry VIII. Do you think any or most of that story is factual?
Jean Palaidy
It's like Fake or Fortune?, but with the academics hosting the show.
It would make for a fascinating episode!
Having both worked and studied under a Master in his fine art and furniture restoration studio, I found this episode - as well as the episode about "the bed", completely fascinating!
Please continue your work; and continue sharing with us you findings. Ta~!

And?
Idk i like anne of cleves .. in hope some day anne of cleves have one movie like other wives king Henry vII
very interesting and very poignant. the last queen of Henry's, she outlived him and the other 5 wives
@Dana Davison sorry Anne of Cleves lived after Catherine Parr. who died in 1548. Anne of Cleves died in 1557.
Incredibly obvious dating by the age of the wood- surely you knew this!
As noted, the Victorians would reuse/recarve older woods. So, it would be possible to take ceiling beams from a Tudor building, plane them, and carve this design in them today. The wood would date as Tudor, but the carving would definitely not be.
Why put these panels in a church? They're not eclesiastical
Two questions: 1. If the altar were a 20 the century construction, why didn't they just ask for the records of it's construction? or old parishioners about the history of the altar and what they knew about it? 2) They said Anne commissioned her tomb -- but did she? Or was it her executors?
Anne was not executed! She and Henry VIII divorced, and she outlived him.
@@cbboyle5117 an executor of a will simply makes sure the the deceased instructions are followed through. An executioner is one who puts people to death.
Charles Schwartz of course, you are right! It was very late last night, and I misread executor! Oops!
Was she really pretty
Go back to marks and sparks return that loathsome jacket and wash your face
Because she’s reading off a teleprompter her eyes look ever so slightly off and it’s distracting me
Keep your hands still so annoying
