Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wiltshire Notes and Queries, 1899-1901, Vol. 3: An Illustrated Quarterly Antiquarian and Genealogical Magazine
The gable immediately on the right of the porch, with its large projecting window and buttress, most probably included the banqueting room in which Henry VIII was entertained when visiting Lackham for several days on his way to Wolf hall, before his marriage with his third and Wiltshire queen Jane, the daughter of Sir John Seymour.1 The room was newly ?oored for the occasion with oak grown on the estate, and on the stonework underneath the window is seen the royal badge of Henry VIII - a crowned rose, with lion and dragon as supporters - no doubt introduced here in com memoration of the royal visit.
