Arthur H. Beavan, in his survey of grand architecture in the captial, in Imperial London, first published in 1901, only had room for a few words to say about Lambeth Palace:

Coming up the river from the Tower Bridge in 1900, one could not fail to notice Lambeth Palace, the town residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

There is much to be seen there of great interest, which want of space in this work compels me to merely indicate.

The gate-house entrance dating back to 1490; the Early English Chapel (1244 -1270); the famous Lollards' Tower, built in 1434, on the extreme left of the Palace, are all deserving of a prolonged examination; not to mention the Great Library (Juxon's Hall), a splendid apartment with timbered roof, containing a vast collection of valuable books and MSS.
