Wishing all our readers a very merry Christmas
and lots of happiness and peace for the New Year.
Enjoy a carol from King’s College Chapel in Cambridge (click here).
Richard III was a generous benefactor of the building of the chapel, which had been started by Henry VI. By the end of his reign the first six bays of the Chapel had reached full height and the first five bays, roofed with oak and lead, were in use. [1] It was the Tudor kings, Henry VII and Henry VIII, who would eventually finish the chapel.
