Charlton House, London
Charlton House, in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
This 17th century mansion is reputed to be the finest example of Jacobean architecture in London, designed by John Thorpe, and was built between 1607 and 1612 for Sir Adam Newton, tutor to Prince Henry, son of James 1. Thorpe was previously clerk of works during the ongoing development of The Royal Palace of Greenwich.
Just out of shot, and to the left, is what is reputed to be the first Mulberry tree planted in this country, planted in 1608 at the request of James 1.
