Fantastic wooden roof in the church - we do like a roof
Didn’t know about the lion and dog fact on the tomb - I must get a lion for mine then 😂

[@blakes4ontour]

@@getawaygeese yes. The lion and dog thing contradicted itself. It was on a notice by one of the tombs! 🤷‍♀️

That was nice of Victoria to have that window made for Mary Tudor. It does seem strange that there's no posh, decorative tomb for her.
Shame about the Abbey. Henry VIII was a knob 😂

@@roaminginraymond probably because she was a woman and therefore insignificant!!!
Yes. Henners the 8th was a complete and utter tosser!
