Additional Information
Historical Note:
The first mention of Bolebrook was apparently in 1272, when records of John de la Lynde’s death showed he had previously paid a rent of 10 shillings yearly for it. It was subsequently in the ownership of a number of illustrious families, including the Dukes of Dorset, the Earls of Thanet and the Sackville family. Although unsubstantiated, it is reputed locally to have been used by Henry VIII as a hunting lodge, perhaps because of its proximity to Anne Boleyn’s home at Hever Castle. By coincidence, it was also one of the filming locations for ‘The Other Boleyn Girl’, a film directed by Justin Chadwick in 2008.
