Woking Palace

Woking Palace is a former manor house of the Royal Manor of Woking that has Scheduled Ancient Monument classification. King Henry VIII visited Woking Manor often as a boy and during his reign - as did Queen Elizabeth I after him. He also honeymooned (!) there with Catherine Parr in 1543. All that remains of the palace are a barrel vault and some adjoining Tudor brick walls but it's kinda cool to be able to walk through a room that Henry VIII has walked through.

Newark Priory

Newark Priory is a ruined priory next to the River Wey at Newark Lock between Ripley, Send and Pyrford and to the east of Woking Palace. It is a Grade I listed building and protected Scheduled Monument, meaning it should forever remain in ruins just like it is today.
