If you like English history visit Henry VIII: Man and Monarch at the British Library: but leave enough time because like Henry it is big and there is a lot to read.

This is your chance to learn about Henry as boy, man and monster. Want to really understand about the dissolution of the monasteries and how many abbots Henry executed? Or see the original plan for the Field of the Cloth of Gold meeting; and don’t forget the six wives.

Stand out items – the maps he commissioned of the coast of England; and the painted scroll of navy ships.
