One of the residences of the Archbishop of Canterbury 
						from the ninth century until Henry VIII forced 
						Archbishop Cranmer to relinquish it to the Crown.  
						In the early sixteenth century Archbishop Warham 
						extended the Palace to rival Hampton Court in size and 
						splendour.  Now only part of the gate house 
						remains.

### Richard Russell Plaque

This plaque was removed to its present location from 
						a tower on Otford Mount that was erected by Russell in 
						1874 for the purpose of watching fox hunting and steeple 
						chasing.

### Public Transport

The walk passes close to Otford station where there 
						are trains from London and Sevenoaks.
