All Things Tudor: The Six Queens: Info Extracts from The Reflection in the Mirror
Where the Six Queens are to be found now: Henry VIII Queens
Katherine of Aragon — Peterborough Cathedral (d. 1536). Her tomb is honoured annually with ‘Katherine Queen of England’ tributes. (Note: her and Henry’s infant son, Henry, Duke of Cornwall (1511), was interred at Westminster Abbey, not Peterborough.)There is no marker or plate where they assume he is buried.
Anne Boleyn — Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula, Tower of London (executed 1536). Laid to rest in an elm ‘arrow chest’, with her head by her feet as the box was too short. This was identified during the 1876 restorations and is now marked by a ledger stone. The yeoman lay a red poppy on her stone, as so many people ask where she is buried.
Jane Seymour — St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle (d. 1537). Buried with Henry VIII.
Anne of Cleves — Westminster Abbey, south side of the High Altar (d. 1557), burial ordered by Mary I.
Catherine Howard — Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula, Tower of London (executed 1542).
Catherine Parr — Sudeley Castle, Gloucestershire, St Mary’s Chapel (d. 1548), the only queen consort buried in a private castle chapel.
