Caption

'Baynard's Castle, from a view published in 1790', (1897). Baynard's Castle refers to buildings on two neighbouring sites fronting the River Thames in the City of London. The first building was a Norman fortification constructed by Ralph Baynard and demolished by King John in 1213. It was reconstructed as a royal palace by Henry VII at the end of the 15th century. Henry VIII gave it to Catherine of Aragon on the eve of their wedding. Baynard's Castle was left in ruins after the Great Fire of London in 1666, although fragments survived into the 19th century. From Old and New London, Volume I, by Walter Thornbury. [Cassell and Company, Limited, London, Paris & Melbourne, 1897]
