In today's episode, I am delighted to welcome back Dr Owen Emmerson to discuss Hever Castle's new exhibition on Queen Anne Boleyn. Owen has done extensive research on the image of Anne and how her image has evolved.

It was a delight to learn from Owen about his research, the exciting discoveries made along the way and what it has been like setting up the exhibition itself.

If you have a chance to see the exhibition, it is running until January of next year!

I do hope you enjoy this episode. Have a wonderful Easter!

Until next time, Jess 🌷
