1535: Jack and the Royal Hart

1 sound

Jack’s keen eyesight and steady hand brings him to the attention of King Henry VIII himself!

History: Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn visited Salisbury for a few days on their Royal Progress. Both loved hunting and it’s easy to imagine they took opportunities to hunt. The King founded a hunting lodge in nearby Cranborne. Historically spoons have often been given as christening presents.
