Duke’s Place

According to Stow, Duke’s Place was converted from the Holy Trinity Priory after the priory’s dissolution in 1531 (Stow 106). Duke’s Place was the residence of Sir Thomas Audley, to whom it was given by Herny VIII after the priory’s dissolution (Stow 106). A church, St. James Duke’s Place, was later added to the site during the reign of James I. The buildings on the site were destroyed in the Great Fire and then rebuilt (Sugden 281).
