“Six Wives at Sudeley Castle”, an exhibition recreating ten glorious, jewel-encrusted robes worn by Henry VIII’s queens, runs at Sudeley Castle, Winchcombe, Gloucestershire until October 27 and again from April to October, 2003. The garments were researched and created by Jane Stuart-Brown, the costume designer on David Starkey’s series, The Six Wives of Henry VIII. The castle was home to Katherine Parr after Henry VIII’s death; in 1535 Anne Boleyn and Henry stayed for a week and Elizabeth I spent time there.
