In this video, we're looking at the second of Henry VIII's wives, Queen Anne Boleyn, and doing some feminist history!
In each episode of The London History Show, we'll be looking at a different statue, plaque, building or feature of London's landscape that you can find for yourself, and we'll tell its story. Watch the whole series here: https://tinyurl.com/ybzud2wm
