The King did resume Vauxhall, and granted a new lease of the residue at a rent of £100.^ A.D. 1747. On the 18th July, 1747, a lease was granted for 31 years to William Clayton, Esq., of Harleford, Bucks, of the capital messuage of the Manor of Kennington, the great barn (see the Map), and eight acres adjoining, &c., &c., Fauxhall excepted.^ Great changes have taken place on the site of the palace of late years ; what was once the resort of royalty is now a yard for carts and waggons, called Ball's Yard. Notwith- standing the above records of the palace, the site is very little known, nor has it been produced on any of the modern maps, and it is probable that not a stone can be pointed out of the ancient edifice, although much of the foundations may still exist.
