WOLF Hall - of course - gives up some history


Very interesting article in the Daily Mail about archaeological investigations into the original Wolf Hall, which has a strong connection to Tudor king Henry VIII, he of the six wives.

Wolf Hall was the familial home of Jane Seymour (the third wife of the king,  not the modern day lovely actress).  But the big house didn't last long -- and there's currently a more modern, smaller home on the property.
The REAL Wolf Hall is unearthed: Palatial home of Seymour family where Henry VIII fell for third wife Jane is discovered 300 years after it was destroyed
They have now found lots of tiles and some of the original foundation walls.  I'm sure they're going to keep digging.

There was a recent TV series called "Wolf Hall" about the important events that happened there.  Now I'm curious about seeing it.

When you examine the history of England and what happened to Henry VIII's offspring, you realize that Wolf Hall was where some of the most significant events in English history were initiated.
