Most of the present building in the Strand dates from 1780 and in the front there are sta- tues of Justice, Truth, Valor and Moderation. The original house took its name from the Lord Protector of Ed- ward VI.'s time, about 1540. The duke pulled down all his neighbor's houses and built what was consider- ed one of the noblest royal palaces in. England. He was beheaded an Tower Hill in 1552, and the place re- verted to the crown.
