Lambeth Palace

Lambeth Palace is the official London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury in England, in north Lambeth, on the south bank of the River Thames, 400 yards south-east of the Palace of Westminster, which houses the Houses of Parliament, on the opposite bank.

The area experienced some slight growth in the medieval period as part of the manor of Lambeth Palace.

Lambeth Palace is the official London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury in England, in north Lambeth, on the south bank of the River Thames, 400 yards south-east of the Palace of Westminster, which houses the Houses of Parliament, on the opposite bank.

The archbishop's main residence is Lambeth Palace in the London Borough of Lambeth.

It is bounded by Lambeth Palace Road to the west and Lambeth Road to the south, but unlike all surrounding land is excluded from the parish of North Lambeth.

Lambeth Palace, the London base of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Museum of Garden History are to the north towards the west by the river.

The former church in front of its entrance has been converted to the Garden Museum.

It is adjacent to Lambeth Palace on the south bank of the River Thames in London, on Lambeth Road.

The south bank of the Thames along this reach, not part of historic London, developed slowly because the land was low and sodden: it was called Lambeth Marsh, as far downriver as the present Blackfriars Road.

The land on which it stands was owned by the church of England, with Lambeth Palace nearby.

It is bounded by Lambeth Palace Road to the west and Lambeth Road to the south, but unlike all surrounding land is excluded from the parish of North Lambeth.

At the southern end is Lambeth Palace, the London base of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The name "Lambeth" embodies "hithe", a landing on the river: archbishops came and went by water, as did John Wycliff, who was tried here for heresy.

In March 1378, he was summoned to appear at Lambeth Palace to defend himself.

New construction was added to the building in 1834 by Edward Blore (1787–1879), who rebuilt much of Buckingham Palace later, in neo-Gothic style and it fronts a spacious quadrangle.

Shortly afterwards he was employed to restore Lambeth Palace, then in a state of near ruin.

After the Restoration, it was completely rebuilt by archbishop William Juxon in 1663 (dated) with a late Gothic hammerbeam roof.

Juxon, as Archbishop of Canterbury, then took part in the new king's coronation, but his health soon began to fail and he died at Lambeth in 1663.

Lambeth Palace is home to the Community of Saint Anselm, an Anglican religious order that is under the patronage of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

It is based at Lambeth Palace in London, home of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The Lambeth Homilies are a collection of homilies found in a manuscript (MS Lambeth 487) in the Lambeth Palace Library in Lambeth, England.

Highlights include a Gutenberg Bible and the Romanesque Lambeth Bible.

It exists in two volumes; the first is in Lambeth Palace Library (MS 3) and covers Genesis to Job on 328 leaves of vellum measuring circa 520 x 355 mm.; the second incomplete volume (covering Psalms to Revelation) is in the Maidstone Museum & Art Gallery (MS P.5).

The Mac Durnan Gospels or Book of Mac Durnan (London, Lambeth Palace MS 1370) is an early medieval Irish illuminated manuscript containing the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John), now in the collection of the Lambeth Palace Library in London.

York Place was rebuilt during the 15th century and expanded so much by Cardinal Wolsey that it was rivalled by only Lambeth Palace as the greatest house in London, the King's London palaces included.

It was founded as a public library by Archbishop Richard Bancroft in 1610.

He died at Lambeth Palace on 2 November 1610.

Highlights include a Gutenberg Bible and the Romanesque Lambeth Bible.

The book is now housed in Lambeth Palace Library under the reference MS 1.
