Acton Court
In 1535 Nicholas Poyntz built a new west wing onto the court to impress the visiting Henry VIII with this new second wife Anne Boleyn.
The king was so impressed by his subjects generosity that he knighted Nicholas. The Court stands as a fine example of 16th century royal state apartments and is said to be the finest example today.
