1603 ELIZABETH I’s RING: THE CHEQUERS RING

Filed under: Elizabeth I Tudor,jewelry — tmooresr @ 4:43 pm

Several very interesting emails have come to me concerning my post about the ring which was removed from Queen Elizabeth I’s body before her burial (1603). My first post showed the two inside “images” of Queen Elizabeth I and an additional female image which seems to be up for a lot of discussion. Several emails have said that the second image is MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS and others are certain that it is Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I’s mother. Last week, a contributor found and forwarded an image of the ring with its surface initials of Queen Elizabeth in diamonds. I think there is a lot to discover about this amazing ring.

Filed under: Elizabeth I Tudor — tmooresr @ 2:15 pm

A very interesting bit of history. I have never seen this before. Elizabeth I wearing a ring with her miniature and the miniature of Mary Queen of Scots, mother of James VI–how prophetic!

MONTACUTE HOUSE: A BEAUTIFULLY PRESERVED ELIZABETHAN HOUSE

Filed under: A DAY OUT OF LONDON,Elizabeth I Tudor,English Country Houses — tmooresr @ 5:34 am

Several years ago, I went to England for an antique auction; there was a splendid Welsh dresser that I wanted to buy for our family. My grandmother had a beautiful 18th century dresser which I did not inherit, so I decided I would find another one. After my successful purchase, I spent some time with my friends the Ross family in Bridport/Stoke Abbott who were antique dealers specializing in 18th century furniture. During my visit, we spent a wonderful afternoon at MONTACUTE HOUSE. The house was spectacular, and I will never forget my first visit. The house’s restoration was a cooperative effort obetween THE NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY, several private loans, and the National Trust. The gardens were beautiful. THE HOUSE HAD BEEN SAVED FOR THE NATION. I highlight MONTACUTE HOUSE because almost weekly I am asked by our visitors in London where they should go for a week outside London after they stay in this magnificent city. This magnificent house should be considered for their itinerary.
