Glasgow is home to a precious royal relic: the headboard of a bed made for the marriage of Henry VIII to Anne of Cleves later in 1539. 'In Search of Anne of Cleves' adds a chapter to the story by following the speaker's research on some antique panels with 'AC' in a church in Bedfordshire. Might they have belonged to Anne of Cleves, as the village liked to believe, or were they 'French, eighteenth century' as a specialist claimed? The answer emerged through an extraordinary coincidence.
Presented by Dr Jonathan Foyle who lectures at the University of Bath. He has been fortunate to enjoy a varied career in architecture, history and conservation working at great buildings such as Canterbury Cathedral and Hampton Court. An author of seven books on medieval cathedrals and castles, he is best known for broadcasts such as Channel 4's Time Team, and presenting BBC's 'Climbing Great Buildings' and 'Henry VIII: Patron or Plunderer?'
