Kimbolton Castle Catherine of Aragon After her divorce from Henry VIII, Catherine of Aragon arrived at Kimbolton in May 1534. She spent the last months of her life as a semi-prisoner in her rooms in the south-west corner of the Castle, attended by a few loyal servants. When Catherine of Aragon died in January 1536, probably from cancer, her body was carried in procession to the Abbey (now Cathedral) at Peterborough for burial. Of course, she is said to haunt the Castle.

The Tower Of London Anne Boleyn On the morning of May 19th Anne was taken to Tower Green, where she was to be afforded the dignity of a private execution. She was granted her wish to be executed by the sword rather than the axe. With one blow her head was removed. Needless to say, there have been many sightings of Anne walking around the Tower and its grounds.
