Kimbolton Castle
Kimbolton Castle in
Kimbolton,
Cambridgeshire, is best known as the final home (or prison) of
King Henry VIII's first queen,
Katherine of Aragon. She was sent here in April
1534 for refusing to give up her status or deny the validity of her marriage. The fenland climate damaged her health, and she died here in January
1536. The building underwent several phases of restoration in successive centuries, ending up as a school.
