Last week when I posted Jacobean Architecture, which was part 2 of Renaissance Architecture, part 1 being Elizabethan Architecture, a friend commented on seeing Hatfield House. That made me think we could explore former royal residences. I thought it would be hard to find a list thereof, but turns out mine was not an original thought. The list is quite extensive, once we embard on that journey (virtual) we’ll be at it for some time. That being said the same site featured a list of current royal residences and although we’ve explored the Queen’s residences as well as royal family residences there were a few others. And so before exploring the former royal residences let’s complete the current residences.
