Books 2018 – New audio book about Lady Jane Grey…
Project Grey Noise by Michael Bayus
‘Lady Jane is trapped in the 21st century, but willingly. Because she knows that in order to affect change and to accomplish her goal, she must act. It’s hard for her because she knows that if she were to tell people that she really is Lady Jane Grey from 1554, people would think she is crazy. So she plays Miss Jane Dudley, and she oversees an exhibit about herself and dresses up in Tudor costume, and enjoys being herself twice a day, (morning and afternoon,) for her show. As the story goes on, Mike suggests that she put on shows about events in her life as short plays or vignettes in the evening. She does it all so well that she gains a reputation around town. She is very entertaining, and she talks Tudor History as though she really lived it, because she has.
We also get to know Jane, as she assumes the role of Miss Jane Dudley, a hard working modern-day young woman, as she interacts with those she meets when she is not working her exhibit. Only Mike, and Jess know for sure just who she really is. Mike is her best friend, and Jess is the caring Mother that she never had. Her goal is to debunk all of the myths, and misinformation that has grown up around her since her death in 1554. The Victorians really did a number on her, and she has a big job on.’

Tracy also looked at documents relating to the indictment of Anne.

The memorial to those executed on Tower Green.

Every year on 19th May a basket of red roses is delivered to the Tower in memory of Anne. The flowers are placed on Anne’s memorial tile in St Peter ad Vincula.

The programme also included a clear view of the memorial plaque that marks the resting place of Lady Jane, Guildford Dudley, Henry Grey,Duke of Suffolk and others.
