Richmond and Kew share a long history as an important royal estate, the site of a succession of palaces and parks from the original manor house and the two medieval royal palaces of Shene to the great Tudor palace in the Old Deer Park. This volume takes the story up to 1660.  "Mr. Cloake has managed to combine a readable style and over 200 illustrations with scholarly and authoritative research ..."

This volume continues the story to the present day with the later history of the palace site in Richmond and of the parks, the development of the Lodge in the Old Deer Park into a royal residence, with its Richmond Gardens, the three palaces at Kew and their gardens and the transformation of these, together with the gardens of Richmond Lodge, into today's Royal Botanic Gardens. An intriguing chapter is devoted to 'The Palaces that never were ...', the plans, some modest, some grandiose, but never implemented.
