'How beautiful this place was. It was comforting to think that the Queen would lie here peacefully for eternity'
1549. Katharine Parr, the last of Henry VIII's queens, has been dead for some eight months. Her cousin, Mary Odell, comes to mourn her by the beautiful marble tomb Thomas Seymour has erected at their home, Sudeley Castle.
