Recently, Assistant Curator Kate McCaffrey uncovered evidence
that Anne Boleyn's personal Book of Hours had been passed to
family friends who cared for and kept the memento safe after
Anne's dramatic fall from favor and violent death. The network of
women from the neighborhood of Hever also have important
connections to Anne's daughter, Elizabeth I. Kate generously
