My maternal great granfather worked so many years in what is now Sri Lanka and brought back some small carved wooden objects which my grandma ( born in 1899) had on proud display in her front room . I always found them fascinating and " exotic " as a child .

Elizabeth did not want to marry or she would have lost her power . Any relationships with men were difficult . I do not think that she would have concern either

The image of the feathers coming out of the sedan chair makes a good point .....how impractical may " fashions " are . The high class lady could afford to be carried around Bath and she could display her wealth without showing her face .

Rwhy didn't we hear Alan's wife's views on her care ? After all SHE is the patient undergoing the whole experience ? Perhaps she would have had a rather very upbeat view of her care and outcome ?

A truly horrific description of child slave labour

Susan Hayirli made a comment
Many of the ordinary workers in the mills were like " human robots " doing the same tasks all day , every working day , with no ability to work at their own pace . Would not have liked to work in a mill

Hello I am a retired Child Health doctor and am particularly interested in learning more about the children who worked in these mills

I grew up in the 1960/70's and I enjoyed "Blue Peter " on television . It was such a good mixture of lots of different things and a lot of " making things " using sticky backed plastic ......

If she had given birth to a son , I am sure history would have been different and she would not have been executed. To modern eyes , this marriage was creepy .... a much older very powerful man married to a teenager.

If Anne Boleyn had produced a son , I do not think that she would have been executed .

As a child (60 plus years ago ) , my family lived near Hampton Court , and our family would go to services at Hampton Court especially around Christmas .Walking through the corridors to the chapel Royal at night was a very weird, and unforgettable experience ...... many ghosts nearby ......I have never forgotten it !
