As you enter Sudeley Castle's exhibition rooms now, there is a sign that always makes me stop and think. And I've read it dozens of times. It talks about the beautiful, rolling hills around the castle and how little they have changed since Bronze Age times. All those years, all those centuries, all those eyes seeing the same beauty. And among the viewers, Katherine Parr.
Everywhere you walk in Sudeley, there are trees that have watched generations come and go, all nestled in grass that has held up thousands of years of inhabitants. I always think of Katherine as a practical sort but I think even she would have been enchanted by the beauty around Sudeley.
