Greenwich Palace


The MailOnline has a report about a ground- penetrating radar survey of the site of the sixteenth century Greenwich Palace in London which has definitively identified the site of the tiltyard and its flanking towers.

The report, which refers to the tiltyard as the scene of King Henry VIII’s serious, and possibly or probably life-changing accident in May 1536 can be read at Site of Henry VIII's near-fatal 1536 jousting accident revealed

The other year the same team uncovered part of the kitchen block of the Palace beneath lawns of the seventeenth century complex which now dominates Greenwich.
