Katherine Parr Locket

Locket belonging to Katherine Parr containing perfectly preserved strands of her hair that have allowed us to confirm her hair texture, type, and color. Although the locket was stolen from her grave during a violent robbery that destroyed what remained of her body, the item was eventually returned to Sudeley Castle.
