I always love it when I walk past the Wayneflete Tower, the only substantial surviving part of Esher Palace, once occupied by Cardinal Wolsey & Henry VIII. Now a private house & is actually set in the middle of a rather upmarket housing estate #esherpalace #waynefletetower #cardinalwolsey #henryviii

In August 1520, Cardinal Wolsey came to Bishop's Lynn. The town's merchants welcomed him at St Margaret's and treated him to a feast that cost £22, hoping he would help them loosen the Bishop of Norwich's control.
