Inigo Jones's plan, dated 1638, for a new palace at Whitehall, which was only realised in part. The Palace of Whitehall – also spelled White Hall – at Westminster was the main residence of the English monarchs from 1530 until 1698, when most of its structures, with the notable exception of Inigo Jones's Banqueting House of 1622, were destroyed by fire.
The Palace of Whitehall was the creation of Henry VIII, expanding an earlier mansion that had belonged to Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, known as York Place.
