Yes, Anne Boleyn has joined the crew of Henry VIII's beloved ship, the Mary Rose!

The Anne Boleyn Files' creator, Claire Ridgway, has pledged to raise £500 for the Mary Rose 500 Appeal to help build a new museum for the ship and its precious Tudor artefacts. The Mary Rose Trust receive no Government funding and need your help. More info on the appeal is available from www.maryrose500.org

The Anne Boleyn Files has produced a special range of "Mary Rose" themed jewellery to support the appeal, Claire did a sponsored diet in November and December 2009 and now Claire has written "The Anne Boleyn Resource Guide" which is for sale on site. All proceeds go to The Mary Rose Appeal. However, you can simply donate to the appeal here.
