The Tudor dynasty, taking a cheeky look at Tudor Fashion
Hosted by: Baliffgate Museum Wednesday 8th May 24 |
We are joined this month by Jane Mann from Baliffgate Museum. Jane will give a lively and entertaining talk on the Tudor dynasty (1485 to 1603) as well as Tudor Fashion.
To put this into perspective, a residency on the site of Kirkely Hall spanned the time of the Tudors. The manor of Kirkley was granted to the de Eure family in 1267, and Sir William Eure was recorded as in occupation of a tower house there in 1415. Henry Ogle of Kirkley (1525–1580), grandson of the 3rd Baron Ogle held lands at Kirkley, near Whalton, Northumberland under Lord Eure. His sons Mark and Cuthbert (1569–1655) each bought a part of the Manor from Lord Eure around 1612. In 1632, Cuthbert built the manor Kirkley Hall, close to the site of the old house. |
