Suffolk Place

Stow claims that Suffolk Place was built by the Duke of Suffolk, Charles Brandon, during the reign of Henry VIII (Stow 454). Darlington claims that a residence owned by the Brandon family, which was called Southwark Place, existed at this location prior to the reign of Henry VIII. In 1536, Suffolk Place became the property of Henry VIII. Thereafter, the property was occasionally used as a royal residence. In 1545, a Royal Mint was established in the building, but the Mint was closed in 1551 after the discovery of fraud. This residence continued to be known as Suffolk Place or the Mint into the 19th century. The property was eventually divided to make way for road improvements in the area (Darlington). For more information, see Darlington’s Survey of London.
