Imprisonment of Mary, Queen of Scots — in 1569, Mary was held prisoner within the Guildhall walls under the order of Queen Elizabeth I.
Royal Visitors — over six centuries, the hall hosted royalty including King Henry VI, Queen Margaret of Anjou, and William Shakespeare.

History of the Abbey
The Gunpowder Plot of 1605
Coombe Abbey was nearly the setting for one of the most infamous royal kidnappings in British history.
In 1605, 9-year-old Princess Elizabeth — daughter of King James I — was living at Coombe Abbey under the care of Lord Harrington. Guy Fawkes and his conspirators planned to blow up Parliament, assassinate the King, and seize her from Coombe Abbey to proclaim her a puppet Catholic Queen.
