York is a stunning Roman city in northern England and one of the best preserved heritage sites in the UK. English Heritage Open Days hosts guided tours to many sites in York, but the most famous is Nunnington Hall. This country manor house was home to the Dr. Robert Huicke who tended to three monarchs: Henry VIII, Edward VI, and Elizabeth I. Dr. Huicke also famously gave the news to Catherine Parr, sixth wife to Henry VIII that she would never bear children. The Stone Hall is the oldest part of Nunnington Hall, dating from the 1500s, and the property sits on eight acres including walled gardens, orchards, meadows and peacocks.
