A Warwickshire Mystery
The remarkable Tudor heart jewel associated with Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon was discovered in Warwickshire by a metal detectorist in 2019.
The exact find location has understandably not been made public, which is entirely right in order to protect the site.
However, as I continue researching the story behind this extraordinary object, I have become increasingly curious about the wider landscape in which it was discovered.
Was it near an old manor house?
Close to a historic road used by Tudor travellers?
Or perhaps not far from a site connected with the Tudor court?
If anyone living in Warwickshire has heard even a broad indication of the area — perhaps within ten miles or so — it would be incredibly helpful for my research.
Sometimes local knowledge can reveal fascinating historical clues that formal records overlook.
Understanding the landscape where the jewel was found might help us answer one of the most intriguing questions surrounding it:
How did such a magnificent Tudor jewel end up lost in a field?
Any thoughts or ideas would be most welcome.
