Practically rebuilt in 1514-1518 by Archbishop Wareham with the addition of a huge inner courtyard and a large set of lodgings, Otford became an enormous and new renaissance palace and was clearly the inspiration for Cardinal's Wolseys' slightly later palace at Hampton Court.
Eight years after acquiring Hampton Court in 1529, Henry VIII acquired Otford from Archbishop Cranmer before going on to enlarge them both.
Otford was considered by an Elizabethan historian to be a 'gorgeous palace' and says that it cost £33,000 - a huge amount in those days.The shell of the north west tower which is connected by the ground storey of a gallery to one side of the gatehouse, is all that remains of Otford Palace.

The walk from the B&B down to the station in Otford was far better than it had been the previous evening as the road was far quieter, only a couple of cars passing me before I reached the safety of the pavement.

Once at the top there was a slight breeze, and this helped me to cool down as I made my way across a field filled with long grass, across which I made a diversion to visit a trig pillar that sat proudly near one edge.
