Eltham Palace

Categories: Property, Royalty

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.
