Cippenham Moat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cippenham Moat refers to the remains of a 13th Century Royal Palace created by King Henry III (Plantagenet) , located in the Cippenham suburb of Slough, in Berkshire. The area where the Palace once stood is still referred to and marked on maps as Cippenham Moat. [1]

Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall (Plantagenet) - brother to Henry III - had his honeymoon here, and later created a deer park. By 1575, however, Saxton's map shows the parks at Windsor and Langley, but not Cippenham.
