  • Oatlands Palace
    Oatlands Palace King Henry VIII owned lots of palaces near London. One of the most famous is Hampton Court Palace. Did you know that Henry had a palace in Elmbridge too? It was called Oatlands Palace and it was ENORMOUS! Most houses in Tudor times were built of wood or straw, but Oatlands palace was built of stone. Why do you think this was? Who lived in Oatlands Palace? Oatlands Palace was built by King Henry VIII almost 500 years ago! Henry loved building palaces and he used them to hold huge parties for his entire court. He had so many palaces he couldn’t use them all! So he started building them for other people. He built Oatlands palace for his wife, Anne of Cleves. Henry married lots of times. Do you know how many wives he had? Count the pictures below to find out! History Detectives So where is their enormous palace? Oatlands palace was built in Weybridge! It was knocked down hundreds of years ago, but bits of it can still be seen. Next time you are in Weybridge see if you can spot this gate. It used to be part of the palace! Henry did not live at Oatlands palace. He would travel to Oatlands when he wanted a break from busy London. Help Henry find his way tto Oatlands Palace! Patterns from the Palace One of the most exciting things we have found at Oatlands palace are floor tiles. They are covered in beautiful patterns. Here are some pictures of the tiles from Oatlands Palace.
