Whalebone Court

Whalebone Court Accessed by Whitehall Gates on the one side and the Water Gate on the other side the Whalebone Court was the main access point to the palace. It was thus also known as the Great Court. It gave way to the Great Hall (Whitehall).

The most telling feature were the enormous large Whale bones that stood as decoration along the side of the courtyard, speaking of that dangerous profession of English Whalers.
