A View of Lambeth Palace

Jan Griffier I, 1663–1718

This drawing was almost certainly made on the spot and shows the two fifteenth-century towers of Lambeth Palace which overlook the river and the Great Hall rebuilt around 1663 to replace the medieval hall demolished during the Commonwealth period. Griffier also depicts a building between the Great Hall and Lollards Tower which was demolished by the architect Edward Blore in the 1820s.
