Different maps give differing suggestions as to where the site of the palace was. A lot of the stonework reappeared in a house in Epsom which was in turn demolished following a fire. This whole park seems remarkably understated, as though its history is to be forgotten. Excavations have taken place in the park and there is a marker to show where the palace was. The palace was never finished.
