| | Richmond Green and Palace, England. Travel guide & tourist information by Hostelbookers.com |
 | | Handsome seventeenth- and eighteenth-century houses line the southwest and southeast sides of the green, with the most striking building of all, the flamboyant Richmond Theatre, designed by the great Frank Matcham in terracotta and brick in 1899, on Little Green, to the northeast of its larger neighbour. |
 | | Henry V had it restored and Edward IV held jousting tournaments on the green, but it was Henry VII who, in an untypical burst of extravagance, constructed the largest complex of all, renaming it Richmond after his Yorkshire earldom. |
 | | Henry VIII later granted the palace to his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, as part of their surprisingly amicable divorce settlement. |
