Nonsuch Palace
Nonsuch Palace in Surrey was perhaps the grandest of Henry VIII's building projects. It was built on the site of Cuddington, near Ewell, the church and village having been destroyed and compensation paid to create a suitable site.

A model of the palace at its peak was commissioned a few years ago and is now on display in the Mansion House within Nonsuch Park.
