The Strange History of Buckingham Palace: Patterns of People by Patricia Wright

Dates - 1st - 2nd May

Book Number of 2017 - 18 of 65

Synposis -

Buckingham Palace is one of the most familiar buildings in the world, but who knows the real tales hidden behind its ceremonial gates? Who was the witch that once lived in the royal courtyard? How could courtesans once have plied their trade in front of the present royal windows? How dared a Prime Minister call the Palace a monstrous insult to the nation? Neither conventional history nor guide, this vivid and entertaining book is the first detailed exploration of the ordinary and sometimes extraordinary people who owned or lived on the land now occupied by the Palace, and of the royal occupants who later inhabited it. Extensively illustrated, it reveals how Buckingham Palace came to be the place it is today, from a time when it probably formed the escape route from a Roman battle nearly two thousands years ago to the establishment of the first gentleman's house there in the seventeenth century, and on into a chequered royal history. The building may seem familiar but nobody who reads this book will ever look at it in quite the same way again: the ribald byways of its history will add a new relish to a visitor's tour, and anyone who has ever strolled round this area of London will be fascinated too. Fully sourced and referenced, and with a varied array of contemporary illustrations. The Strange History of Buckingham Palace will also appeal to architectural and social historians, those interested in London's history, and to all intrigued by the dramatic story of the home of the Kings and Queens of England.

My thoughts

The wonderful thing about this book is about how little it is about Buckingham Palace itself, but spends much more time dwelling on the history of the site than on the building itself. The first two thirds of the book deal with the history of the site up until the building of Buckingham house in 1703. There is a particular focus on the the village of Eia that stood on that site and its history from Saxon times onwards. The tales of the Mulberry trees and pleasure gardens make a much more fascinating read that the history of the Palace itself and Patricia Wright has catered for that in this excellent piece of popular history.

Would I recommend it - Yes
