I was disappointed to find that Anne of Cleves never lived here.If i had been aware i would not have bothered to visit it.It is a good example of a Tudor house with later extensions.It is divided into 3 parts.there is the main house.There is a lot of old furniture to look at,rather unexciting.then there is a display on a...
