  • King Henry VIII (8th) on a construction hoarding alongside a red standing pedestrian light in central London. Henry is seen in his most famous guise, as an obese middle-aged Tudor monarch, striking his famous pose symbolising power and wealth. He adorns the outer face of the hoarding at 55 St James's in London, a street in Westminster known more for 18th century opulence and style, rather than Tudor culture. His appearance is juxtaposed to a red pedestrian light that mimics the royal pose.

  • Gothic architecture ruins of the Cistercian order's Rievaulx Abbey in North Yorkshire. Tall columns, pillars and arches rise majestically from the green grass that  for centuries, was the home for successive monks and abbots who endured piety through hardship. Rievaulx was one of the first Cistercian abbeys to be founded in England. Surrounded by a massive agricultural and industrial estate, staffed by lay brothers, it was intended as the focus of a substantial family of daughter houses throughout northern Britain. Destroyed by the commissioners of King Henry VIII during the Dissolution of the abbeys and monasteries in 1538, the shattered abbey ruins became a popular subject for Romantic artists in the 18th and 19th centuries.

  • The tall wrought iron gates of Magdalene College, Cambridge. Magdalene College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge, England. The college was founded in 1428 as a Benedictine hostel, in time coming to be known as Buckingham College, before being refounded in 1542 as the College of St Mary Magdalene. Magdalene College has some of the grandest benefactors including Britain's premier noble the Duke of Norfolk, the Duke of Buckingham and Lord Chief Justice Sir Christopher Wray. However the refoundation was largely the work of Sir Thomas Audley, Lord Chancellor under Henry VIII. The College's most famous alumnus is Samuel Pepys, whose papers and books were donated to the College upon his death, and are now housed in the Pepys Building.

  • Local signpost showing nearby village milage and the ruins of Cistercian Byland Abbey. Located near Coxwold and Oldstead and on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors, Byland Abbey was described in the late 12th century as one of the shining lights of northern monasticism. The abbey rose to be one of the largest of the Savigniac order in Britain and the remains of the buildings, particularly the great church, are significant in the development of northern architecture in the second half of the 12th century. Sacked by a Scots army after the battle of Shaws Moor in 1322, it was destroyed in the Dissolution of abbeys and monasteries by Henry VIII in 1538; the buildings then became ruinous and a source of building stone for local people.

  • Lone walker crossing Horse Guards Parade from St Jamess Park on 16th April 2020 in London, United Kingdom. Normally crowded with people London is like a ghost town as workers stay home under lockdown during the Coronavirus pandemic. Horse Guards Parade was formerly the site of the Palace of Whitehalls tiltyard, where tournaments including jousting were held in the time of Henry VIII. It was also the scene of annual celebrations of the birthday of Queen Elizabeth I. The area has been used for a variety of reviews, parades and other ceremonies since the 17th century. The building is still used by the Horse Guards and the London commanding officer still uses the same desk as Wellington, the Iron Duke.

  • Holy water on tap and restored stone wall behind the Shrine Altar at Aylesford Priory (Friary). The wall is not original as the buildings on this Christian ancient site were damaged by King Henry VIII during the dissolution of the monasteries of the 16th century. This structure was repaired after WW2 for the benefit of those pilgrims on retreat at this quiet location in the county of Kent, southern England.
