<p>RICHMOND PALACE was situated in Richmond, some ten miles W.S.W. of London. The town was anciently called Syenes and afterwards Schene and Sheen until the name was in 1500 changed to Richmond by command of Henry VII, who was Earl of Richmond in Yorkshire. The town of Richmond grew up round the royal manor house, which became a frequent residence of sovereigns, but of which nothing more than a gateway remains. </p><p>Edward I received the Scotch commissioners at his manor of Sheen in 1300. The palace was rebuilt by Edward III, who died here in 1377. It was frequently used by Richard II, and here his wife Anne of Bohemia died, upon which he cursed the place and "caused it to be thrown down and defaced." By Henry V, however, it was rebuilt, and a great tournament was held here in 1492 by Henry VII, who after its destruction by fire in 1498 restored it. Henry VIII gave it to Wolsey to reside in, after the latter presented him with the new palace of Hampton Court. </p><p>James I settled it on his son Henry, Prince of Wales, who restored and embellished it at great expense. Charles I added to it the new deer park generally known as Richmond Park, 2253 acres in extent, which is surrounded by a wall 11 mi. in length. After the execution of the king, the parliament presented the park to the citizens of London, who again presented it to Charles II at the Restoration. </p><p>Though partly dismantled, the palace was the residence of the queen dowager till 1665, and by James II it was used as a nursery for the young prince; but, gradually falling into decay, it was parcelled into tenements about 1720. In the old deer park extending northwards from the site of the palace, Kew Observatory was erected in 1769, occupying the site of a Carthusian convent founded by Henry V, and a dwelling-house in which Swift for some time resided. The White Lodge was built by George I, and has been a residence of various members of the royal family.</p> <p>里士满宫殿位于里士满，在伦敦西南偏西约十英里处。该镇古代叫赛因斯，后来叫舍尼和辛，直到1500年根据约克郡里士满伯爵亨利七世的命令改称里士满。里士满镇是在王家庄园附近长大的，这里成了君主们经常居住的地方，但这里只剩下一道门。</p><p>1300年，爱德华一世在他的辛庄园接待了苏格兰专员。这座宫殿是爱德华三世重建的，他在1377年死于这里。理查德二世经常用它，他的妻子波希米亚的安妮也在这里去世，他诅咒这个地方，并“把它扔在地上污损”。然而，亨利五世重建了它，1492年亨利七世在这里举办了一次盛大的锦标赛，1498年亨利七世在大火中被毁后修复了它。亨利八世把它交给沃尔西居住，在沃尔西向他展示了汉普顿宫廷的新宫殿之后。</p><p>詹姆斯一世在他的儿子威尔士亲王亨利身上做了决定，他花了很多钱修复并美化了它。查尔斯我给它加上了一个新的鹿园，通常被称为里士满公园，2253英亩的范围，这是包围的墙壁11英里。最后。国王被处决后，议会将公园赠送给伦敦市民，他们在复辟时期再次将公园赠送给查尔斯二世。</p><p>虽然部分拆除，宫殿是皇太后的住所直到1665年，和詹姆斯二世它被用来作为苗圃为年轻的王子；但，逐渐下降到腐烂，它被分成出租屋约1720年。邱园建于1769年，位于王宫北面的老鹿园内，占据了亨利五世建立的卡尔特修院遗址和斯威夫特曾居住过一段时间的住宅。白旅馆是乔治一世建造的，一直是王室成员的住所。</p> <h3>诺丁山狂欢节每年的八月最后一个周末举行，为期三天，第一天为周六，主要表演是钢鼓音乐，第二天为周日，以游行为主，儿童和家庭为对象，第三天为成人表演和游行，是最热闹的一天。此次由于不了解错过了第三天内容，实为遗憾！</h3> <h3>香港机场</h3>
