This is an interpretation of the time when King Henry VIII visited Lord Winsor at his home around christmas time. It was just for a few days…
The Historians tell me that King Henry VIII (not known for his flexibility) during his stay, found Stanwell manor such a pleasant place, his majesty took it upon himself to demand it be handed over to the throne.
Lord Windsor’s family protested, they had held the manor for generations and he begged the King to reconsider.
The King would hear none of it. He helped himself to the manor of Stanwell, and sent Lord Windsor to a new manor far far away.
