brick gatehouse built in the 1530s for henry viii, its oriel removed c.1750 when the archway was enlarged. our taxes pay for this palace; there is no public access ever. just why are such places not opened up, at the very least over open house weekends?

the brick gatehouse dates from c.1530, the ogee cupola and a few details being alterations of c.1700

the bulk of these main gates with linenfold carving dates from the 1530s, the archway of the gatehouse having been enlarged c.1750
