This was the first time I had visited the Chapel.

We didn't know that King Henry VIII was buried here and as tudor history fans were happily surprised. Unfortunately, you can't take any photos, which was disappointing, however, the docent was amazing! She took the time to give us many details about things we would never have known. More
