Eltham Palace : 91�Թ��, Aiming to capture all memorials in London

Building

Eltham Palace

First mentioned in the Domesday Book, but the origins of this Palace are probably much earlier. It was given to Edward II in 1305, and was a royal residence until the 16th century. In 1933 the lease was acquired by Stephen Courtauld (1883-1967), who restored the great hall and built an adjoining house in the art deco style. In 1995, English Heritage took over its management, and undertook a major restoration. It is now open to the public.
