Summary
| Description | English: Cheshunt: Theobalds These walls and entranceways are one of the few ruins left of the former Theobalds Palace, built by William Cecil, Lord Burghley, in the 1560s. Queen Elizabeth I was a frequent visitor to the Palace. She was succeeded by King James I who stayed at Theobalds in 1603 as a guest of Lord Burghley's son, Robert Cecil, while on his way from Scotland to be crowned in London. King James was so taken with Theobalds that he exchanged it with the Cecils for Hatfield House in 1607. King James I died at Theobalds in 1625, and it remained a royal palace during the reign of King Charles I. However after the accession of Oliver Cromwell and the execution of Charles in 1649, Theobalds was razed to the ground by the Parliamentarians.
Today the remains can be found in Cedars Park. |
