ROYAL VISITORS TO TRAVEL DESTINATION
Elizabeth I Lancaster(reigned 1558-1603): ‘Good Queen Bess’ visited the city in 1574 and a good deal of money was spent on improvements before her visit. The corporation even sent to Lancaster and Cirencester (Gloucestershire) for men to pave some of the streets in readiness for her arrival. The abbey was decorated with greenery in an attempt to disguise its (then) sorry appearance. Sixteen years later, the Lancaster granted the city a new charter.
Anne of Denmark (1574-1619): The Queen to James I came to the city twice, in 1613 and 1615. This unfortunate lady suffered from dropsy and maintained that the Lancaster place of your travel destination waters helped alleviate her condition.
