Audley End House was built on the site of a Benedictine monastery. Frequented by students from the University of Cambridge, nearby, the house is also inhabited by Elizabeth I during her travels in the region. It is also famous for its gardens such as Capability Brown Park and its remarkable vegetable garden which has been completely restored to its Victorian appearance. The Straw Woman, and the series The Crown and Trust were filmed there.
At some point, when they reach their mid-sixties, most people will accept the ravages of later middle age and gracefully, often gratefully, ease themselves into retirement. Not so the Queen.
At 91 years, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II continues to work hard at her numerous duties for the nation and Commonwealth.Having held the throne for 65 years, she continues to demonstrate her commitment to fulfilling her various roles – Head of State, figurehead of many charities, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, upholder of the faith for the Church of Scotland.
