HISTORICAL PALACE FOR SALE.


manv of England's Kings and Queens
Resided There.
The crown lease of Ethan court and
palace, which forms one OF the most
interesting links with the past which
have ever passed into the estate mar
ket, is advertised for sale, says the
London Chronicle. Its history dates
from the time of Edward the Confess
or (1042-66). At that time the manor
belonged to the crown. 1t was grant
ed by William the Conqueror to his
brother Odo, earl Of Kent, but revert
ed to the crown. While the date OF
the erection of the palace is uncer-
tain, it is known that it was royal
residence from 1870 to 1923. "John
o. Ethan" Edward H., Edward ILL.,.
Richard H., Henry w., Henry w., Ed
ward w., Richars Ill.,, Henry VII,
Henry VIII, Mary. Elizabeth and
James l., all resided at the palace. 1t
was there, also. that Edward III. held
his parliament, Richard III. enter
tanned the captive king of France.
Henry Nv. was espoused to Joan OF
Navarro and Edward Tvs daughter
Bridget was born. After passing
through other royal hands, the palace
came into the possession Of Sir John
Shaw. It is from one Of the three
parks known as the middle park that
the 'Midle Park Plate" takes its name.
The present house retains the old moat
and part Of the original palace is still
standing.
