Facts and practical information

Theobalds House, located in what is now Cedars Park in the parish of Cheshunt in the English county of Hertfordshire, was a significant stately home and royal palace of the 16th and early 17th centuries. Set in extensive parkland, it was a residence of statesmen Lord Burghley and his son, both leading royal advisers. James I enjoyed staying so much he acquired it from the Cecil family, further extending house and park. It was a notable example of the Elizabethan prodigy house, but was demolished as a result of the English Civil War. ()
