Lady Rose Hickman Character Tours
At Gainsborough Old Hall
Now you can be personally guided around Gainsborough Old Hall by Sue Allan in character as Lady Rose Hickman.
Be entertained as 'Lady Rose' delights in taking you upon an intimate tour around the house in which she lived from 1596 until her death aged 87 . Then listen in awe as she recounts incredible tales of her family's exploits at the court of King Henry VIII. How her fabulously rich father, Sir William Locke smuggled English translations of Protestant Bibles into Catholic England for , amongst others, a certain Anne Boleyn. How a grateful King Henry then rewarded Sir William for a daring deed performed in defiance of the Pope who had placed a curse upon His Majesty.
Be moved as Lady Rose tells you ,vividly, about the traumatic times in her life when her husband languished in the notorious Fleet Prison during the reign of Bloody Queen Mary and how she was made to fear for her children's lives.
How during the reign of Queen Elizabeth her own dear son , a contemporary of Mayflower Pilgrim William Brewster and Separatist Robert ' Troublechurch' Browne , was persecuted for his own dissident faith. And so much more.
And see where scenes from the best- selling 'Mayflower Maid' trilogy of novels were actually set.
