Sharon’s answer to “I discovered Richard III through your lovely Sunne In Splendour just as his bones were found. Sunne…” > Likes and Comments

O, thank you for answering! I have seen a teeny tiny bit of London on a long layover, so yes, let's call it my first visit. Thank you for the tips. I have several days in York & plan to keep moving the whole time. I have a feeling I'll be planning my next visit before I leave...
I didn't have enough characters to say that I've loved all your books, adding Wales to my list of obsessions. I still miss the Angevins & will be keeping my eyes open for any lingering traces of them too. Any book stores or other shops you'd recommend? Most people I talk to here in California have no idea who RIII was or that his story just revived in a big way. One said, "I only know Richard through Robin Hood." Ummm... I didn't care much for King John but his family was fantastically fascinating!
Can't say enough how much I've enjoyed your books. They are so rich & delicious that I go into a bit of a depression when I finish one! In fact, I still have The Reckoning on my to-read stack because when I finish that one I'll have nothing left... until the next one! Thank you so much & keep writing!

Sienna, if you are generally interested in the Middle Ages, a visit to the Wallace Collection (armor & weaponry in particular) might be something to add to your list. Westminster Cathedral is filled with tombs, the St. George Chapel in Windsor, and Canterbury Cathedral would be good as well.
When visiting a few years ago, my favorite site on the Richard III tour was Ludlow and the castle remains there. It is the site scene in Sunne where Cecily stood and protected her children while Margaret's troops raided the castle.

Thank you, Rosemary! I just enjoyed Anne Easter Smith's Queen by Right which also has that scene. You might enjoy her work as well.

Turns out there is another place in London that Richard would have known... & I just miss it! https://murreyandblue.wordpress.com/2...
