Back to the time

.. 1542    "Conflict of Church and State An Audience with King Henry VIII"

An hour monologue followed by questions from the audience - all in authentic style. He was very witty too in answering,

Questions included:
1, "Did he have the largest cod piece in the land?" - It was originally a purse hence a display of wealth;
2. "Did he feel he had a poor attitude to women?"

Surprise Fact Henry VIII did not actually form the Church of England, rather he made himself Head of the Catholic Church in England breaking the link with The Pope. 

By way of introduction The Dean mentioned King Charles I stay at The Minster following which we was arrested by the round heads; also that Cardinal Wolsey "hid" here from the King for 6 months
