They act out short plays based on Henry's life and even have costumed actors walking around. (I stayed away from them. Didn't want to lose my head!)<br /><br />Ellen: Exactly! Lots of fireplaces! Some of the rooms were furnished, but I don't know how authentic the furniture was.<br /><br />Bug: Yeah, but then again, no television!<br /><br />Lynne: I think the deer looks strange because it's a fallow deer -- a different kind from the white-tailed deer we see in the states. But then, I am not a deer expert.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-8304907107062205722013-02-16T21:56:25.260+00:002013-02-16T21:56:25.260+00:00Great pics!

I have to say though I've never seen such strange antlers or a stranger looking deer than that one. <br /><br />I prefer William & Mary's architecture!

Nice pics. I'd like to see one of those castle rooms appointed with the furniture and wall hangings/rugs, etc. that were in actual use in those days.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-48294696648496594982013-02-16T15:48:19.770+00:002013-02-16T15:48:19.770+00:00I've read several books on Henry VIII so this ...I've read several books on Henry VIII so this was a real treat.
