Love letters from the Tudor period have been unveiled for the first time at Sudeley Castle in Winchcombe.
From a story in This Is Gloucestershire...
A new exhibition about the life of Katherine Parr reveals how she felt obliged to marry the king against her own will and rekindled her romance with an old flame, possibly while Henry was still alive.
Within months of Henry's death, Katherine Parr married Sir Thomas Seymour in secret and moved to Winchcombe. News of their marriage caused scandal in the royal court.
In one of the letters, Katherine Parr asks Sir Thomas to come and see her.
She wrote: "When it shall be your pleasure to repair hither you should take some pain to come early in the morning, that you may be gone again by seven o'clock."
