Alison Weir – The Boleyn Secret
 
Thursday 19 November 19:30
at Cryer Arts Centre, Carshalton High Street SM5 3BB
 
A Friends of Honeywood Museum Event

Early booking recommended! Please note venue.
 
Alison Weir has excavated, from the Tudor records, the unsung story of a remarkable woman who had a ring-side seat to some of the most precarious and pivotal passages of history. Katherine Carey, Anne Boleyn's niece, learned young how to negotiate the knife-edge of court, developing deep loyalties and cautious allegiances. She had fifteen pregnancies, had to flee England and live as a fugitive for a time and carried a momentous and dangerous secret about her origins for her entire life. Her story is as fascinating as it is gripping.
 
All seats: £8. To book, please contact Susan Hoskin at susan.hoskin@gmail.com or tel: 07721 852378 ​, or download, print, complete and return our Booking Form from here.
