Stately home in Hertfordshire, England
About
Theobalds House, also known as Theobalds Palace, was a significant 16th-century stately home located in the parish of Cheshunt, Hertfordshire.
Set in extensive parkland, it was a residence of statesmen Lord Burghley and his son the Earl of Salisbury, both leading royal advisers. It was a notable example of the Elizabethan prodigy house. It became a royal palace in the seventeenth century when it was acquired by King James I, who died there in 1625. The palace was demolished as a result of the English Civil War.
