FANCY a slice of history with links to Henry VIII?
A manor house in Milverton once home to the Archbishop of Canterbury who helped Henry become head of the Church of England when it broke from the Roman Catholic Church is now on the market.
But while you might baulk at the hefty £1.3million price tag of the Old House, a £250,000 wall painting valued at £250,000 is being thrown in.
The stunning property dates from the late 1300s and was home to the Archdeacon of Taunton until the late 1800s as well as Thomas Cranmer in Tudor times.
It belonged to the Church until the 1950s, when it was sold to a private owner.
It hit the headlines five years ago when the owner Angie Sage, author of the Septimus Heap novels, uncovered a 16th Century mural of Henry VIII in his mid 40s concealed behind a wall in the great hall.
Ms Sage told the Daily Mail: "You feel linked to lots of people who have lived here and feel a part of history.
"We were really torn about leaving. It's a great family house when it's full of people, but our daughter has left home and the house is quite big for just us."
The six-bedroom property boasts a kitchen/breakfast room, second kitchen, pantry, wine store, library and two bathrooms.
Its period features include flagstone floors, oak panelling, leaded stone mullion windows, medieval ceilings and a Tudor fireplace.
