NOTES: The tower was built by John Morton, Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1486-1501 and is one of the few surviving examples of the early Tudor style of brick building. This room on the first floor was one of the many in the Palace that suffered greatly from damage by fire and water during World War II and was restored by Seeley and Paget in the 1950s.
