Day 9 of my Katherine Parr takeover brings me to part 2 of an A-Z of Katherine Parr, 26 bitesized facts. @rayleightownmuseum are kindly having me back on 27th September to talk about Richard Rich. Tickets can be brought from the Museum. Day 7 - Want even more Katherine Parr content? Katherine had a very filled life, she really lived. She was played to rest at in the chapel of St Marys, in the grounds of @sudeleycastle after her funeral on 7th September. That was where she lay for many centuries, at rest and at peace. However that is not the end of her story. Read about her afterlife in my guest post for @voyagerofhistory a few years ago. Would you like to win a Katheirne Parr of your choice? Here are some of my favourite books from across the genres, including historical non fiction, Tudors, Travel, biographies and self help, along with my all time favourite non fiction books, my favourite series and child's books. Episode 3 is now live on my substack (link in bio) This time im joined by the amazing Bonnie from @katherineparrsociety where you guessed it, we talk all things Katherine Parr. Day 4 - Portraits of Katherine Parr. Day 3 of my Katherine Parr takeover is a repost from History the interesting bits blog, created by @sharonbennettconnolly. I look at Katherine as a Stepmother.
