Paragraph one states "Nonsuch Palace (SNIP) was completed in 1538." But paragraph five states "Construction had been substantially carried out by 1541, but it took several more years to complete." I lack the expert knowledge to correct it myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JMBryant (talk • contribs) 14:54, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
In its article Sir Thomas Pride, Wikipedia states that he purchased Nonsuch Palace. His tenure does not appear in Wikipedia information about ownership of the palace, set out under the heading "Through the Ages". Given his place in significant events of the time, his ownership adds to the story of the palace. Something to be updated ?

Barbara, Countess of Castlemaine. She had it demolished from 1682 onwards. -- Is this supported? Why would she demolish a palace? It is thought the palace burnt down, why is this not mentioned? Tubusy 18:59, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks Keith, that's very interesting... but there must be more to that story. Have any good references for this? (Further to the linked article.) (The property would have been of priceless value compared to it's pieces, but had it burnt down it may make more sense that she sold the remains.) Either way, the fall deserves further detail.

It's a strange name. The article doesn't say where the name came from. Might be worth mentioning if anyone knows the etymology. --Qef (talk) 21:31, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
The name refers to Henry VIII's egotistical drive to stump the French king's own conceited fancy the Château de Chambord in that 'no such palace' exists anywhere like it or is comparable. Twobells (talk) 08:46, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
Should any reference to this TV series be here? It's just a historical romp with no claim to accuracy. --Ef80 (talk) 19:10, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
Is calling the remains of the palace "ruins" somewhat overstating what can still be seen? There is nothing there except markers placed by recent archeological investigators. I think "ruins" suggests at least some walls or foundations visible to people the public.31.53.188.245 (talk) 20:58, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
