Travel back in time with the Lady Katherine and learn about her life in Tudor Devon. Born into the prestigious and well-connected Champernowne family, Katherine witnessed the reigns of Tudor monarchs from Henry VIII to Elizabeth I.
She may also be persuaded to reveal some of the secrets of her wardrobe. Delving into fashion can take you on unexpected journeys, leading to discoveries about international trade, commerce, and even piracy. Additionally, exploring the world of fashion unveils how clothing was used to shape the images of Kings and Queens. Prepare to be surprised by the diverse pathways fashion can lead you down.
Author and speaker Rosemary Griggs has been researching Devon's sixteenth-century history for years. She has discovered a cast of fascinating characters and an intriguing network of families whose influence stretched far beyond the West Country. She loves telling the stories of the forgotten women of history — the women beyond the royal court; wives, sisters, daughters and mothers who played their part during those tumultuous Tudor years
