A Tudor Treat: Unveiling Secrets with Melita Thomas!
At Soulton Hall, we are always thrilled to host events that spark curiosity and ignite imaginations. So, last week’s book launch for Melita Thomas’s fascinating new book, 1000 Tudor People, was an absolute delight!
Melita, a captivating speaker and renowned Tudor historian, brought the era to life not just with her insightful lecture, but also with her attire. Dressed in a stunning Tudor gentilwoman’s gown, she transported us right into the heart of the 16th century.

The afternoon also was the the unveiling of a previously unseen treasure: the priest hole at Soulton Hall! For those unfamiliar with Tudor history, priest holes were secret compartments built into houses to conceal priests and other persicuted people during a time of religious persecution.
The event was a captivating blend of historical knowledge, personal anecdotes, and of course, a peek into a genuine piece of Tudor history. Melita’s passion for the period was infectious, and her book, 1000 Tudor People, promises to be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in this fascinating era.
If you’re looking for a captivating read that brings the Tudors to life, be sure to pick up a copy of 1000 Tudor People.
…And who knows, perhaps Melita’s next book launch will unveil another hidden secret right here…!
