Attention all Katherines, Catherines and Kathryns
Posted: Thu Aug 13, 2026 12:05 am
To all Katherines, Catherines and Kathryns (do we know any 
) would you like a nice FREE day out?
Sudeley Castle where Katherine Parr is buried has been on TV many times, including Digging For Britain and the short lived metal detecting series where couples tried to make the best finds (which was so good I can not remember its name
). Lots of history there and well worth a visit, especially if interested in Katherine Parr.
For those not on FB the item below is taken from https://www.facebook.com/sudeleycastle
