Apethorpe Hall
With its own minstrels' gallery, 18th century classical library and vast Italianate gardens, Apethorpe Hall has all the trappings of a palace fit for a king. It was owned by Henry VIII and a haunt of James I, Elizabeth I and Charles I. Originally built in 1470-80 by Sir Guy Wolston, it then sold to Sir Walter Mildmay and stayed in his family for 350 years.
From the windows on the east side of the hall, it is said that Mildmay watched the arrival of Elizabeth I. Apethorpe was one of the Queen's favourite overnight stops on the Great North Road. It was also a favourite haunt of monarchs James and Charles I who enjoyed magnificent feasts of venison and wine. James I visited the home 10 times between 1614 and 1624. The restoration work uncovered a secret doorway leading from the king's bedchamber to the bedroom used by his 'sweetheart' and favourite courtier George Villiers, the Duke of Buckingham.

Royal bedrooms
Fascinating historical look back at British royal bedrooms. Including a look at Henry's VIII's bed head. Do enjoy.
The program this segment came from is 'One Foot in the Past'. This aired in 1996, I think. Found on old tape today.

Hoverbats (1967)
Apethorpe, Lincolnshire.
Several shots show small hover vehicles zipping about a rural field; the two-seater version is labelled 'Hovertwin' and the single is the 'Hoverbat'. They seem to glide about quite easily, although one of the machines has grey smoke billowing from the rear. A Hovertwin launches onto a lake, and appears to be sinking! I think the front hover 'cushion' is not inflating.
A small group of people stand watching. We see more shots of the Hoverbats on the field, and successful launchings into the water.
Note: on file is a press release and leaflet about the Hoverbats. Cuts exist - see separate records.
