Divorced: Henry VIII's 'gift' to Anne of Cleves
How the only wife Henry VIII divorced ended up with a Melton Pub
Originally built in 1384, this family run Melton pub was once owned by Thomas Cromwell before being gifted to the fourth wife of Henry VIII, Anne of Cleves, as part of a divorce settlement.
The building is steeped in history as BBC Leicester’s Ben Jackson found out.
Produced by Andrew Fewster.
