  • Summary

  • Discover the stunning Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn Choir Screen at King’s College Chapel, Cambridge! This exquisite wooden rood screen, praised by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner as “the most exquisite piece of Italian decoration surviving in England,” is more than a beautiful artefact. It holds a fascinating link to Anne Boleyn and the Tudor dynasty. 🏰👑 Eric Ives suggested it was made to celebrate Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn’s marriage, featuring symbols of their union. However, stonecarver Lucy Churchill's research reveals a deeper message asserting their Divine Right to rule and issuing a stern warning to dissenters. 📜🔍 Dive into this historical gem and explore the rich symbolism behind it. Check out Lucy Churchill’s detailed research and imagery on her website! https://www.lucychurchill.com/anne-boleyn-moost-happi-medal-reconstruction/kings-college-choir-screen-cambridge-uk/ Photo credits: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3437015 - King's College Chapel - ceiling & organ screen © Copyright The Carlisle Kid and licensed for reuse under this Creative Commons Licence. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3488853 King’s College Chapel © Copyright Richard Croft and licensed for reuse under this Creative Commons Licence. #TudorHistory #AnneBoleyn #HenryVIII #HistoricalArtefacts #KingsCollegeChapel #Cambridge #ChoirScreen #DivineRight #HistoryRevealed #LucyChurchill
