    Join the King's Armourer Simon Metcalf as he explores the magnificent armour of King Henry VIII. Our experts will share insights into how each of the component parts would have been meticulously designed and made to fit the King's rather unusual measurements, how it would have been worn and used in battle and the work which goes into the ongoing conservation of the armour today.
