Now in the British Galleries at the V&A, Museum Number 248-1894. Old Palace was traditionally thought of as a hunting lodge used by James I and the overmantle is carved with his arms, but it is more likely to have been the second home of a courtier. The left pilaster surmounted by a finely carved male bust and the right by a female, with a festoon of drapery and split baluster ornament below. Wooden Screen in the Great Hall at Knole Park Kent, which was probably carved by William Portinton in the early 1600's.
