York Place or York House, now called Whitehall, belonged to
the Archbishop of York, and was possessed by Wolsey in right
of that See. Henry seized it in 1529, and made it one of his
residences.--Hall says, "after Christmas, 1530, he [the King] came
to his manor of Westminster, which before was called Yorke Place,
for after that the Cardinal was attainted in the Premunire, and was
gone north-*ward, he made a feoffement of the same place to the
Kyng, and the Chapiter of the Cathedral of Yorke confirmed the same
feoffement, and then the King chaunged the name, and called it the
Kynges manor of Westminster, and no more Yorke Place." Ed. 1809,
p. 774. Abundant proofs, however, exist in these Accounts, that it
retained the name of York Place, until the period when they close,
December, 1532.
ADDENDA.
It is stated in p. 41, that the next page, _i. e._ f. 20 of the MS.
is missing: the following notes of its contents, however, occur among
the extracts made from the MS. by Peter Le Neve, Norroy King of Arms,
early in the last century, and which are now preserved in the Lansdowne
MS. 737. It will at once be seen that Le Neve has not copied the MS.
literally; and there is cause to believe, either that he has omitted a
few items, or that there was a mistake in the calculation of the person
to whom these Accounts were entrusted. The latter conjecture is the
more probable of the two, for Le Neve seems only to have copied the
most striking entries.
