Stunning place! I'm just imagining all the people who have trodden those stairs and looked out of those windows over the centuries! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for an interesting video on Anne of Cleves House in Lewes. This place gets far too little attention as it is well worth a visit alongside Lewes Priory nearby 👏
What a lovely video. I happen to live in a house built using similar techniques . So far we have the date back to 1605. We live in a part of Normandy called the Pays d'Auge. Famous for oak construction. I was fascinated by what you mentioned about the clay soil of the area of Sussex etc. Because the soil over here is also clay! Lots of woodland and yes...trees grow very well! An interesting thing about timber construction here in Normandy is that the size of the beams is very much an indicator of status. Farm cottages are usually long and quite narrow. Because a beam became exponentially more expensive when it got over 4 metres in length. Bigger farmhouses were 6 metres wide, but Manoirs/manor houses were 8 metres wide. MUCH more than double the cost of a beam 4 metres wide. The status very much was reflected in the fact they could afford the longer thicker beams- main trunks of very old and valuable trees. Whereas people with less means had to make their homes with shorter lengths. So many Norman cottages, like ours are long and quite narrow.
Here in the U.S. colonial houses had short beds too and the belief here, like the UK, that people didn't sleep flat on the bed. They were afraid of the cold drafts from the floor giving them Pneumonia so people like George Washington slept with his upper body raised for that reason. I think You Thomas Jefferson did as well. They were both tall men.

Anne of Cleves was an Airbnb owner! Wow! We could look to the past for good investments.
I think Anne of Cleves was the most interesting of the six wives. 😊
What a great house! Her portrait was recently restored and it is magnificent.
Living in Sussex? I have often visited this house. But learned so much more after watching your video. Thank you

I was just there in 2023 September. I loved it. Thank you for reviving the memories.
Thanks for the video. I could never get enough history and seeing a house like this just brings it to life.
It’s cool but makes me appreciate how nice our homes are now compared to back then

Anne of Cleves was the most fortunate wife of Henry VIII, she escaped Henry with a means of support in tow.

Timelless history of historical figures of monarchy.
