Audley End House

|
| Audley End House, in Essex, England, is predominately an early 17th century country mansion, which was once a palace in all but name. Formerly a Benedictine monastery, granted to Sir Thomas Audley in 1538 by Henry VIII, which was converted to a domestic house for him, known as Audley Inn. This dwelling was later demolished by his grandson, Thomas Howard, and a much grander mansion was built, primarily for entertaining King James I. A strange combination of the ornate, slightly austere and pretentious, Audley End House is now only one third of its original size. |
