British Museum in £3.5m appeal to save Tudor Heart pendant linked to Henry VIII

The British Museum is aiming to raise £3.5 million to save a gold pendant linked to Henry VIII’s marriage to Katherine of Aragon.

The London museum says there are very few surviving artefacts relating to the pair’s marriage and it has now been given the chance to acquire the Tudor Heart, which was discovered by a metal detectorist in 2019, before it enters a private collection.
