(Vatican Radio) English Cardinal Vincent Nichols will preside at Vespers in the Chapel Royal of Hampton Court Palace on Tuesday, for the first Catholic service to be held there in over 450 years. The Anglican bishop of London Richard Chartres will preach the sermon at the service, which will be preceded by a conversation between the two Church leaders, focusing on the history and unique musical tradition of the Chapel Royal.
World renowned ensemble 'The Sixteen' which specializes in early English polyphonic music, will perform works from the Reformation period, highlighting how - in the cardinal's words - "music can help us rediscover our roots and shared heritage".

Caretakers at Westminster Abbey reported a “humming sound” coming from the area near the sarcophagus of Henry VIII. One expert attributed it to “’enry spinnnin’ in his coffin.”
Starting betting pool. How long until Pope Francis converts?
Arrrrrgh! Henry VIII is not interred at Westminster. His father, Henry VII is.
Yep. Henry VIII is buried in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. Jane Seymour is buried with him. Got to see it when I was there in 2006. There's an engraved slab on the floor. Charles I is named on the slab too.
Cool. What would Cdl. Wolsey think, I wonder.
How could HIS "humming" be heard over the death knells of his wives: divorced, beheaded, died; divorced, beheaded, survived? If the king can do it....
AMAZING, I think.
My Anglican friend acquaintance is REALLY annoyed. She really, really, really doesn't like the Catholic Church. She only put up with me because I used to travel with her. I don't do that now. Lol. She stopped traveling as she had no one to help her with her bags. She's obese; I'm not.
They’re offering the Traditional Latin Mass?
Nevermind..I see it is Vespers.
