Wolsey's Tower in Esher, Surrey, England. Cardinal Wolsey, who possessed Esher Palace as Bishop of Winchester, was kept under house arrest here after his fall from power as a result of his failure to get the king and annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, his mishandling of negotiations with France and the rise in favour of his men like the Dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk, and the Boleyn family.
