    Default Woodstock Palace, Oxfordshire





    A manor in the possession of the crown, Woodstock became one of the upper royal residences when in 1129 Henry Beauclerc built a hunting lodge here, with seven miles of walls surrounding a park in which he ostensibly kept lions and leopards. His grandson Henry Plantagenet turned it into a palace, and later would be born here Edward Longshanks' daughter Mary and later his last son, Edmund.
