Anne of Cleves Pub, Melton Mowbrey, UK. Built 1386. Owned by Anne of Cleves 1540-1557 in her divorce settlement.

Interesting history. Built for monks but Henry VIII and the Reformation meant the property was transferred to Thomas Cromwell as a thank you for getting Henry VIII his divorce in 1538. After Henry VIII accused Thomas Cromwell of catfishing him with Anne of Cleves, Thomas Cromwell was executed in 1540. The house then went to Anne of Cleves in her divorce settlement in 1557.
