Richmond Palace

The manor house of Sheen had stood on the site since at least the early 12th century, and King Henry VII built Richmond Palace there in the late 15th century. It was virtually destroyed by fire at Christmas 1497, with the royal family only just escaping. It was rebuilt and became a favourite residence for future monarchs. Henry VII and Elizabeth I both died here. After the execution of King Charles I, it was gradually demolished.

The Richmond Society have a useful from which we deduce that the palace extended from Richmond Green to the river, and from Old Palace Lane to Friars Lane.
