Henry Viii Hunting Seat
Hob Uid: 404111
Location : Greater London Authority Croydon Non Civil Parish
Grid Ref : TQ3704064140
Summary : The park at Addington Palace is the traditional site of a hunting lodge, but there is no evidence to suggest that one existed here prior to the present park being laid out.
More information : [TQ 37046414] Henry VIII Hunting Seat [GT] (Site of) There seems to be no direct evidence for this siting. Camden (2) states that Hen.VIII hunted at Addington, where lived his Master of Horse, Nicholas Leigh (d.1581), who built Addington Place. Camden does not mention a Hunting Lodge: neither does Aubrey (3) A new Addington Place (later Addinton Palace), [TQ 365638] was built C.1770 by Alderman Trecothick. Lewis (4) thinks Trecothick's mansion is on the site of the Hunting Lodge. VCH (5) gives "...at the end of the avenue leading from Addington Place". (This may be no more than a reading of the O.S. Map). Lysons ('Environs....' 1789-90) and Brayley (HIST-SURREY IV 1841) refer only to Addington Place. Rocques map (2" to mile) of 1742 solves nothing. The O.S. Name Book has been destroyed. Addington Palace and its adjuncts are entirely of the late 18th c., and no building remains of an earlier period are known of, or were found during perambulation of the property. The O.S. siting falls upon a fairway of the Addington Golf Course (laid out in 1924).
