Henry VIII's love nest for sale
Source: BBC (11-20-09)
A house where newlywed Henry VIII stayed with his second wife Anne Boleyn has gone on the market after being rebuilt from a state of near collapse.
Shurland Hall, on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent, is thought to be the gatehouse of a Tudor palace owned by a courtier of the King, Thomas Cheyney.
It was probably built especially for Henry and Anne's visit in 1532, when the King spent three days hunting.
The Spitalfields Trust has restored it and put it up for sale for £2m.
