Re your John Churchill story, my historical heroine is Anne Boleyn, imagine how thrilled I was to be able to take part in an historical reenactment, at Hever Castle, and, at the same time have the experience of my first visit there. At the end of the working day I went to visit Hever's church where Sir Thomas, Anne's father is buried, however, I came out towards it, from behind a grave stone (in 16th century apparel), there was a gentleman standing by the gate of the church, he turned and looked at me, and must have decided he would go in another time, or perhaps he had a pressing engagement because he moved very quickly.
