Excerpt from The Stranger's Guide to Hampton Court Palace and Gardens
In 1211, Joan, Lady Grey, relict of a Sir Robert Grey, of Hampton, left the whole manor and manor-house to the knights hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem, and it remained the property of these knights till their order was suppressed in England, when the fee became vested in the Crown. We learn from Cavendish's history of Cardinal Wolsey, that he entertained the French embassy here in 1527, and that two hundred and eighty beds were prepared for the accommodation of his guests. Every chamber (says Cavendish) has a bason and ewer of silver, a great livery pot of silver, and some gilt; yea, and some chambers had two livery-pots with wine and beere, a boule and goblet of silver both for their wine and their beere, a silver candle stick, both white and plain, having in it two sizes and a static, torch of wax, a fine manchet and a cheat loaf.
