Description

The town of Richmond grew around the Tudor royal palace by the River Thames. Much of the land was used by the royals for hunting, first in the Old Deer Park and then in Richmond Park. This book explores the lesser-known episodes and characters in the history of Richmond through the years, from its royal beginnings to the establishment of a tapestry works at Mortlake and the connection with the River Thames. It also uncovers stories about remarkable people, unusual events, and hidden historical buildings and locations. Richmond's history is full of secrets waiting to be uncovered, and this book sheds light on some of the most fascinating episodes in the town's past.
