HISTORIAN REVIEWS:

Eric Ives, OBE:
'Lucy Churchill's brilliant achievement has brought us as close to the real Anne Boleyn as we shall ever be able to get'.
David Starkey, CBE:

'Lucy Churchill's reconstruction of The Moost Happi portrait medal is the best image we are ever likely to have of Anne Boleyn'.

Alison Weir:

'Through meticulous research Lucy Churchill has created an authentic replica of the medal of Anne Boleyn, as it would have looked originally.  A must for anyone interested in Anne Boleyn'.

Hilary Mantel:

'Lucy Churchill's skill and craft has recreated a real woman, not a romantic heroine. This is Anne as her century saw her'.

Claire Ridgway:

The 1534 medal is the closest we get to the ‘real’ Anne Boleyn, and  it’s wonderful to have it reconstructed in all its glory. Lucy has done a wonderful job at bringing it to life.â€
Natalie Grueninger:
“Lucy Churchill’s astonishing reconstruction of The Moost Happi portrait medal is one of my most treasured possessions. It’s unquestionably the most true-to-life image of Anne Boleyn that we have.†
Susan Bordo:
Ever since Lucy Churchill and I worked on a piece together on "What did Anne Boleyn Really Look Like?" I've been entranced with her work reviving the real Anne through this magnificent medal. A copy of the medal sit's proudly on my favourite bookshelp, a testament to the endurance of history over fiction. I'm so pleased to see this extraordinary work receiving the attention it deserves!"
Owen Emmerson:
"Lucy Churchill's stunning recreation of The Moost Happpi medal portrait of Anne Boleyn - the only contemporary likeness of her to survive - has brought into stark relief the face of a Queen in her most triumphant days. Churchill has skilfully recovered the face of a woman who captivated a kingdom and who beguiles us still." 
Roland Hui:
"Lucy Churchill’s reconstruction of Anne Boleyn’s 1534 ‘Most Happy’ medal is a welcomed and needed addition to studies about her portraiture. A must for anyone on ‘Team Anne’!"
