It became one of Henry's favourite and has been lived in by many monarchs, the last one being George III who had mental health issues. Sarah spoke of James I of (VI of Scotland), who was homosexual, handsome Charles II who drank heavily, whored, gambled and had numerous lovers plus 14 illegitimate children and actress Nell Gwyn as one of his lovers. We listened as Sarah told of secret bedchambers leading from a King's bed, another Week St Mary Walking Group King and his Queen who had 15 children between them and showed us via.
