This beautiful red ruin is the remains of Lady Jane Grey's house. She was queen for 19 days in 1553, in the middle of the Tudor era. Among troubles of succession and religion, Lady Jane Grey was executed and her reign was cut short. The vivid red brick reminds me of Hampton Court and really highlights it as a Tudor building. It must have been amazing when it was full of life. But now the main resident is a peacock who sounds remarkably like Kevin from Up.
