A propos de cet article

2 works in 1, 8vo., ( xii, 182pp.) + (iv, 108pp., fine engraved frontispiece and wood engravings to text), marbled endpapers, bound in contemporary full calf with decorative outer borders within double-ruled gilt borders, gilt decoration to leading edges, fine gilt decorated spine in compartments with raised bands and contrasting morocco title labels, A VG+ tightly bound copy of these two scarce works by John Buckler bound together with some slight wear to lower part of upper joint. Dive into the architectural history of one of Oxford's most famous colleges with John Chessell Buckler's detailed exploration of Saint Mary Magdalen College.

By the 14th century it was the most frequented royal residence in the country, with successive monarchs enjoying lavish parties and building programs there. Eltham Palace was a particular favourite of the Yorkist King Edward IV, who built the Great Hall there in the 1470s, and his grandson Henry VIII spent much of his childhood walking its opulent halls. Whilst king, he and Anne Boleyn also visited Eltham many times, including in 1532 as they prepared to journey to Calais to receive Francis I’s support of their marriage and Henry VIII’s break with Rome. The Great Hall is now the only part of medieval Eltham Palace that still exists, after its eventual decline in the 17th century.…
