Abstract: |
[TQ 3877]. Excavation revealed structures of three main periods, the first being a 14th century hall-house owned by a Belgian abbey. This was incorporated after 1426 into a new manor-house for Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, at least two storeys high. Successive rebuildings added new garderobes, sewers and a kitchen. Demolition of most of this house followed for the palace begun by Henry VII, with chapel and state apartments in the riverside range, and other ranges enclosing at least one courtyard. Much of this underlies the present College, but the great tower on the river-front and the western state apartments were uncovered and numerous later modifications examined. The palace was demolished in the 1660s. Plans are included in the report, but finds are reserved for later publication. |
