Facts about Blickling Hall

Early history (In the 15th century) Blickling was in the possession of Sir John Fastolf of Caister in Norfolk
(13801459), who made a fortune in the Hundred Years' War, and whose coat of arms is still on display
there.
Later, the property was in the possession of the Boleyn family, and home to Thomas Boleyn, later Earl of
Wiltshire, and his wife Elizabeth between 1499 and 1505. Although the exact birth dates of their children
are unknown, historians are confident that all three surviving children were likely born at Blickling - Mary
in about 1500, Anne in about 1501, and George in about 1504.
A statue and portrait of Anne may be found at Blickling Estate which carry the inscription, "Anna Bolena
hic nata 1507" (Anne Boleyn born here 1507), based on earlier scholarship which assigned Anne a (now
thought highly improbable) year of birth of 1507.
