Episode Summary: 
Hever Castle was the childhood home of Anne Boleyn. The beautiful castle offers amazing insights into the family and personal life of this famous wife of Henry VIII and mother of Elizabeth I.

Recently, Assistant Curator Kate McCaffrey uncovered evidence that Anne Boleyn's personal Book of Hours had been passed to family friends who cared for and kept the memento safe after Anne's dramatic fall from favor and violent death. The network of women from the neighborhood of Hever also have important connections to Anne's daughter, Elizabeth I. Kate generously shares her research and insights with us.

History shows us what's possible.
