| Information | |
Bolebroke Castle is a 15th-century hunting lodge, now a county house, located to the north of the village of Hartfield in Sussex. It is a grade II* listed building.[1]
The house was built around 1480. King Henry VIII is said to have stayed at Bolebroke when he went hunting for wild boar and deer in the nearby Ashdown Forest. It is only five miles from Hever Castle and was the base from which King Henry conducted his courtship of Anne Boleyn, whose home was Hever.[2]
The house was used as a location in the 2008 film The Other Boleyn Girl.[2]
The Bolebroke Castle Miniature Railway was located within the castle grounds. It was closed and dismantled in 2012 after the owner died.
