NOTE: Thornbury Castle was built as one of the first, more modern,palaces--not a castle, as the use of cannons made castles obsolete. Itwas over half completed when the Duke was executed. It (at least the60-70% that was completed) is currently used as a unque hotel. I havestayed at the hotel twice now, in the Queen Mary room, as Henry VIII, whoconfiscated the Castle when he executed Edward, kept his young daughterMary there during part of her adolescence. The Castle was not acrenelation/remodel of a previous manor, but was all new construction.The grandness and largeness of the construction (it would hold manysoldiers in barracks embedded within the walls enclosing the gardens &fields around the castle) is said to have contributed to the suspicionsof Wolsey/Henry VIII.
