About	Apethorpe Palace is one of the historical and traditional British style palaces located in Peterborough, UK. The palace is situated in the parish of Apethorpe, Northamptonshire region. It is listed as England's one of the Grade I country houses, dating back to the 15th century. The palace was also a "favourite royal residence for James I". Elizabeth I once owned the building, which she inherited from Henry VIII. The main house was built around three courtyards lying on an east-west axis and approximately 80,000 square feet. Apethorpe Palace is acknowledged as the finest example of the stately Jacobean home and one of Britains ten best palaces. The progressive building alterations are associated with three principal architects: Roger Morris (1695-1749) for the Neo-Palladian modifications, John Thorpe (1565-1655) for the Jacobean royal extension, and Sir Reginald Blomfield (1856-1942) for the formal gardens and the Neo-Jacobean decorations.
