HISTORY
The history of Buckingham Palace began in 1702 when the Duke
of Buckingham had it built as his London home.
The Dukes son sold the house in 1761 to George III.
George III bought Buckingham House in 1761 for his wife Queen
Charlotte. Buckingham House became known as the Queen's House.

In 1762 work began on remodelling the house to the King's requirements.
As work progressed, the King had a change of heart. With the assistance of his
architect, he set about transforming the house into a palace.
The north and south wings of Buckingham House were demolished and rebuilt
on a larger scale with a triumphal arch - the Marble Arch - to commemorate the
British victories at Trafalgar and Waterloo.

The present forecourt of the Palace, where Changing the Guard takes
place, was formed in 1911, as part of the Victoria Memorial scheme.
The gates and railings were also completed in 1911.
The North-Centre Gate is now the everyday entrance to the Palace,
whilst the Central Gate is used for State occasions and the departure of
the guard after Changing the Guard.

THE QUEENS GALLERY
The Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace was constructed forty
years ago out of the bomb-damaged ruins of the former privatechapel. The Gallery underwent extensive refurbishment and
expansion to celebrate The Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002 and was
reopened by Her Majesty on 21 May that year.
The Queens Gallery is a permanent space dedicated to exhibitions
of items from the Royal Collection.
-

The Collection includes paintings, drawings and watercolours,
furniture, ceramics, clocks, silver, sculpture, jewellery, books and
manuscripts, prints and maps, arms and armour, and textiles.
It largely consists of objects after the Restoration of the Monarchy
in 1660.
Only a small part of the collection is on display at any time so the
objects on display are continuously rotated making it worthy of repeat
visits.

ROYAL MEWS
The mews of the British Royal Family.
Combined stables, carriage house and in recent times also a garage.
One of the finest working stables in the world.
In London the Royal Mews has occupied two main sites, formerly
at Charing Cross and since the 1820s at Buckingham Palace.
-

The first set of stables were at Charing Cross at the western end
of the Strand.
It was usually known as the Kings Mews, but also referred to as
the Royal Mews, the Royal Stables or as the Queens Mews.
The building was destroyed by fire in 1534 and was rebuilt.
It was rebuilt again in 1732 to the designs of William Kent.
In the early 19th century it was open to the public.

The present Royal Mews is in the grounds of Buckingham Palace.
The old mews at Charing Cross was demolished and a new one
was designed by John Nash.
The state coaches, other carriages, along with about 30 horses and
state motor cars are kept there.

The Mews is a working part of the Palace.
The Royal Mews Department is overseen by an official called the
Crown Equerry.
The horses in the Royal Mews are regularly exercised in the art of
pulling carriages.
The maintenance and provision of modern motor vehicles is as
much a part of the work of Mews as that of carriages and horses.

In 2004, a member of Fathers4Justice spent five and a half hours
standing on the parapet by the balcony at the front of Buckingham
Palace. Although the Queen was not present at the time, it raised
fears of a terrorist attack on the palace, and gave rise to calls for the
British Army to be given a greater hand in the security of the Royal
Family.

Possibly the first house erected within the site was that of a Sir William Blake,
around 1624.
The next owner was Lord Goring, who from 1633 extended Blake's house and
developed much of today's garden, then known as Goring Great Garden.
He did not, however, manage to obtain freehold interest in the mulberry
garden. Unbeknown to Goring, in 1640 the document "failed to pass the Great
Seal before King Charles I fled London, which it needed to do for legal execution.
(It was this critical omission that helped the British royal family regain the freeholdunder.)

The improvident Goring defaulted on his rents.
Henry Bennet, 1st Earl of Arlington obtained the mansion and
was occupying it, now known as Goring House, when it burned down
in 1674.
Arlington House rose on the sitethe southern wing of today's
palacethe next year, and its freehold was bought in 1702.

The house which forms the architectural core of the present palace was built for
the first Duke Of Buckingham and Normanby in 1703 to the design of William
Winde.
Buckingham House was eventually sold by Buckingham's descendant, Sir
Charles Sheffield, in 1761 toGeorge III for 21,000 (3,000,000 as of 2011).
Like his grandfather, George II, George III refused to sell the mulberry garden
interest, so that Sheffield had been unable to purchase the full freehold of the site.
When Sheffield sold Buckingham House it came into the hands of the Royal Family.
