37. Despite Wolsey’s extensive rebuilding programme, York Place was still not large enough to
accommodate the King and his entourage overnight, and Henry is known to have spent only one night
there during Wolsey’s tenure (Thurley, Royal Palaces).
38. This seventy-foot cellar, known erroneously as “King Henry VIII’s Wine Cellar,” was discovered in
1935 when the present Ministry of Defence offices were built in Whitehall; because it was in the way
of the new foundations, it was moved in its entirety forty-three feet along, twenty-three feet down, and

him “in a small hall hung with handsome tapestry, leaning against a tall gilt chair covered with cloth of
gold. His Majesty wore a violet gown lined with cloth of gold and a collar of many jewels, and on his
cap was a large diamond and a most beautiful pearl.” (Is this another reference to the Mirror of

22 “This Cardinal Is King”
1. Edward Hall.
2. Cited in Neville Williams, Henry VIII and His Court.
3. Cited in Starkey, Reign of Henry VIII.
4. It was formerly a preceptory dating from the thirteenth century. A manor house had stood on the site
since Saxon times.
5. The bell was made by the fifteenth-century founder Thomas Harris, whose initials it bears. It used to
chime the hours, but is now only rung at funerals. Traces of the manor house’s foundations were
uncovered in the 1970s during excavations in Clock Court, where their position is marked out on the
paving stones (Sturgis).
6. The moat, reputed to be the last one dug in England, was filled in by Charles II, but re-excavated in
the nineteenth century, when the stone bridge to the gatehouse was uncovered.
7. The Cardinal’s arms were later removed by Henry VIII; they were rediscovered and restored to their
original place in 1845.
8. He was paid £2.6s.8d (over £700) each for them. Some of Maiano’s work, such as the Histories of
Hercules carved on the oriel window of the gatehouse (which Henry VIII removed), is lost. Maiano
later worked for the King: two of his roundels were discovered at Windsor in 1882.
9. By 1770, the gatehouse had become much decayed and there were fears that it would collapse. In
1771–1773, it was partially demolished and rebuilt on a smaller scale, with only three storeys. The
leaden cupolas on the turrets were never replaced. In 1882, the gatehouse was refaced with new red
bricks.
10. Base Court remains much as it was in Wolsey’s day, despite some Victorian restoration. The rest of
the palace has been greatly altered, and all the Cardinal’s private apartments have disappeared. The so-
called Wolsey Closet is a twentieth-century reconstruction.
11. Wolsey’s banqueting hall may have been on the site of the present Great Watching Chamber. The
existing oriel window was perhaps constructed to lighten the Cardinal’s table.

25. His daughter Dorothy became a nun at Shaftesbury Abbey, Dorset. His son, Thomas Winter, took
holy orders while still very young, and received, through Wolsey’s influence, thirteen lucrative
benefices and offices. Joan Lark was the daughter of a Thetford innkeeper; her brother, who was
Master of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, was Wolsey’s confessor. Wolsey arranged for Joan to be married to
a gentleman, Mr. Legh; it is not known whether he continued having relations with her after the
marriage.

Blenheim Palace was built nearby. The architect Sir John Vanbrugh used some of its masonry to build a
