Eltham Palace
This week JOHN SNAGGE visits the remains of Eltham Palace, which was one of the most popular royal residencies from the reign of Henry III to Henry VIII. Edward IV had a Great Hall built with a hammer-beam roof which has been virtually unaltered after 500 years. Henry V, after his victory at
Agincourt, spent Christmas there before his triumphant entry into London: and Henry VIII and his daughter
Eliza beth I both spent some of their childhood at Eltham. Producer ROGER CLARK
