Background

History

The house was originally established as the home of the Bishops of London before the Norman conquest of England in 1066. The home of Owen Tudor and his wife, Catherine of Valois, it became the birthplace of their son, Edmund in about 1430. The present house, which dates to the early 16th century, was sequestrated during the English Civil War in 1647 and then reverted to the Bishop of London at the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660. The house is now a terrace of three homes, Palace House, Palace East and Palace West which are today in private ownership.
