Summary
Sudeley Castle, the final home of Kateryn Parr and Thomas Seymour, carries a deep connection to their story. Granted to Thomas when he was created Baron Seymour of Sudeley by his nephew, Edward VI, in 1547, the castle became a place of both joy and sorrow. It was here that Parr passed away on September 5, 1548, shortly after giving birth to their daughter. Kateryn Parr is unique among Henry VIII's wives, as she is the only one to be honored with a magnificent tomb, complete with a stunning effigy. Discover more about the last place she called home and the events that unfolded after her passing.

| 0:32.9 | I'm your host, Rebecca Larson. And today I want to share with you my visit to Soodley Castle. This was one of those |
| 0:41.1 | places when I went to England that was top of my list because, of course, Thomas Seymour owned |

| 1:09.1 | this is actually the presence chamber of |
| 1:11.7 | Queen Catherine Parr. On the top floor there, you see the windows. Those are huge windows. |
| 1:17.4 | They went from floor to ceiling, and you can kind of imagine where the floor was. And in the middle, |
| 1:22.3 | you have the fireplace. You can just imagine Catherine sitting there by the fire. And looking out the windows, |
| 1:28.7 | she would see the gardens. And then if you go over into the corner where you see the bird |
