An Afternoon With Nell Gwynne
Nell Gwynne was the mistress of Charles II and for many people, that is all she was known for – other than for selling oranges!
The real Nell Gwynne is a victory for English womanhood, showing great courage against the background of the bloodiest civil war in English history and the poverty that followed for many of the population. Against all the odds Nell became a star of the London stage and the greatest comic actress of her day and won the hearts of theatregoers and the King himself. Her rags to riches story may have inspired the story of Cinderella, but even after she caught her handsome prince, Nell was no stranger to tragedy.
Guest should not arrive before 2:00pm as they will not be able to access the castle grounds or building before this time.
