1674 memorial to edmund fortescue, gentleman usher to both queen henrietta maria and catherine of braganza. son of a royalist family and born in exile in delft,it's difficult to see why he ended up here unless he was a catholic. deep in the cellars underneath the courtyard is a group of interesting c17 memorials removed from the catholic chapel of the original palace here, none mentioned in pevsner.
