The Chimney Piece in the hall of Reigate Priory.
This was removed from Nonsuch Palace erected by Hen VIII. At the time the Palace was taken down
by the Dutchess of Cleveland. The Jambs and Transom of the fire place containing the arms of the
Howard family and other figures on the former chimney piece placed there when the Priory House
was built by Lord William Howard after the dissolution of the monasteries.

I remember in school assembly at the priory trying to arrange standing next to this fireplace as I loved it every part of it was so interesting.my other interest at assembly was a boy called chris in a lower class than me it was worth going to school just to see him.but that's a different story!.
