“What more fitting place for a memorial to Anne than a church in which she once prayed, hoped, and worshipped. Contribute to the fund and bring Anne back to Hever!”

“So often Anne Boleyn is remembered for her tragic death, yet this beautiful memorial aims to commemorate – and celebrate – her extraordinary life. Inspired by the only known likeness of her during her lifetime, it shows this remarkable woman and queen as she deserves to be remembered: at the height of her powers.”

“The historical evidence strongly suggests that Anne Boleyn was not guilty of the crimes for which she was executed. Today, many recognise that she was a remarkable woman, yet she has no memorial, apart from on the supposed site of her death and a plaque above what is unlikely to be her grave. I applaud the determination of Owen Emmerson and the people of Hever to set up a memorial in St Peter’s Church at Hever Castle, Anne’s family home, and wish them every success with their fundraising.”

“Anne Boleyn is worthy of remembrance, not because of the tragedy surrounding her downfall and death, but rather because of how she chose to live. She was undeniably luminous – a woman of the highest calibre, who possessed a towering intellect and courage in spades. Anne was also a spirited champion of education and reform, and was profoundly committed to improving the lives of her people. For these reasons and many more, it gives me great pleasure to endorse this important project.

Anne cherished her home at Hever and often retreated to its familiar and comforting embrace. Given her deep piety, she would also have spent many sacred moments nurturing her relationship with God inside St Peter’s Church, where her beloved father, Thomas, and brother, Henry, are buried. It is, therefore, the perfect place for a memorial to her extraordinary life.”

“St Peter’s Church, Hever, is part of Anne Boleyn’s story. It was the family church, it’s where her father one one of her brothers were laid to rest, and it’s where Anne would have worshipped during her childhood and when she was visiting home. Whenever I visit, I imagine the Boleyn family worshipping there so I’m thrilled that St Peter’s is celebrating Anne’s link to the church with this memorial and I look forward to visiting again and seeing it.”
