The Peltons comprises three separate phases of development on the border of a desirable conservation area less than 750 metres from the River Thames and the backdrop of Canary Wharf and the Greenwich peninsula. * Computer Generated Images GREAT CONNECTIONS INTO THE CAPITAL AND BEYOND The Peltons’ location to the east of Greenwich places it in an area close to everything Greenwich has to offer. The heart of Greenwich is a gentle stroll away along the river, while the Cutty Sark DLR is less than a mile along Blackwall Lane and Trafalgar Road. Other local transport options are plentiful, including a frequent train service from Maze Hill of just 14 minutes into London Bridge.

  • Outline of the Tudor Side of Things... It Is 1524 and Nell Is 15 and a Maid In
    Outline of the Tudor side of things... It is 1524 and Nell is 15 and a maid in waiting to Catherine of Aragon, when she meets Anne Boleyn newly returned from the French court. Poor Nell hasn't had a very happy time at court as she is seen as an outcast and perhaps a traitor as well. People in court have long memories and blame her father for the death of their loved ones in battle. Her father was forgiven his folly and now is a trusted employee of the court. Nell and Anne Boleyn become friends. Nell's father is Lambert Simnel Nell survives the storm that breaks with Anne's death and goes on to see Elizabeth crowned Queen. When Nell dies, the story skips back into the modern day, and Judith goes home to stay with her parents for a few weeks. During that time, she talks to her father about what happened in St Peter ad Vincula, and he admits that he is a direct descendant of Nell's eldest son Charles. Her father leaves the room and comes back with a box, in the box is Anne's B necklace which has been in their family for centuries. It now belongs to Judith. The ringing of my alarm clock sounded loudly in the warm May morning, I reached out and swiped the clock off my bedside cabinet where it fell to the floor with a loud thud. I sighed and snuggled down, hoping to get just a few more minutes of peace, but the alarm clock rang out defiantly.
