]</ref> Across the river, Alexander Ales accompanied Thomas Cranmer as he walked in the gardens of Lambeth Palace. When they heard the cannon fire from the Tower, signalling the death of Anne, the archbishop looked up and proclaimed: "She who has been the Queen of England will today become a Queen in Heaven." He then sat down on a bench and wept. When the charges were first brought against Anne, Cranmer had expressed his astonishment to Henry and his belief that "she should not be culpable." Still, Cranmer felt vulnerable because of his closeness to the queen. On the night before the execution, he had declared Henry's marriage to Anne to have been void, like Catherine's before her. He made no serious attempt to save Anne's life, but in practical terms, could not.

Henry had failed to provide a proper coffin for Anne, and so her body and head were put into an arrow chest and buried in an unmarked grave in the Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula. Her body was identified during renovations of the chapel in the reign of Queen Victoria and Anne's final resting place is now marked in the marble floor.

Recognition and legacy

After her death, a number of rumours sprang up about Anne, mostly by Catholic sources hostile to Elizabeth I. Nicholas Sander, the Catholic recusant, in De Origine ad Progressu Schismatis Anglicani (1585) described her as seducing men as a child, having six fingers on one hand, a wen under her chin, and being the natural daughter of Henry VIII.

No contemporary account of Anne Boleyn’s appearance--some of them meticulously detailed--mention any deformities. Moreover, as physical deformities were generally interpreted as a sign of evil, it is difficult to believe that Anne Boleyn would have gained Henry's romantic attention had she possessed any; especially considering that Henry refused to marry Princess Renée of France because he did not consider her to be able to bear healthy children, due to a slight limp she had inherited from her mother. Anne Boleyn was described by contemporaries as "young, good looking and likely enough to bear children", intelligent, forthright, gifted in musical arts and scholarly pursuits. She was, however, not submissive, and often clashed with both her husband and relatives.

Following the coronation of her daughter as queen, Anne was venerated as a martyr and heroine of the English Reformation, particularly through the works of John Foxe, who argued that Anne had saved England from the evils of Roman Catholicism and that God had provided proof of her innocence and virtue by making sure her daughter, Elizabeth I, later became Queen regnant. Over the centuries, Anne has inspired or been mentioned in numerous artistic and cultural works. As a result, she has remained in the popular memory and Anne has been called "the most influential and important queen consort England has ever had."
