    3. A Gazette article featuring Acton Court, Iron Acton, led me to finding about more about this Tudor property, which has now been relisted as Grade I. http://www.gazetteseries.co.uk/news/8862902.Tudor_manor_house_wins_Grade_I_listing/ I found an interesting web site about Acton Court here: http://www.actoncourt.com/ On the first page, there's a picture of the Tudor property, which was built by Nicholas Poyntz and visited by Henry VIII. There are some fascinating pages on the Acton Court web site, which feature the history of the house: http://www.actoncourt.com/history/index.html Some discoveries thought to be associated with the visit of Henry VIII, including the king's garderobe or privy, have been made: http://www.actoncourt.com/history/index2.html A gallery of photographs includes pre-restoration photographs http://www.actoncourt.com/archive_gallery/pre-restoration/index.htm and the house and grounds http://www.actoncourt.com/archive_gallery/house-and-grounds/index.htm I know that there is one list member interested in the Tudor period, who is likely to enjoy these pages and I hope that others will too. -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
