	~~Kensington Palace, originally~~ a private country house known as Nottingham House, was acquired by William ~~III~~ and ~~his wife~~ Mary II from their Secretary of State, the Earl of Nottingham in 1689 for £20,000. The building was then adapted for royal residence by [[Christopher Wren]] who extended the [[Jacobean]] house and (re)constructed a new entrance and courtyard, the Royal Apartments for the royal couple, the Grand Staircase, a council chamber and the Chapel Royal. A private road was also built from the Palace to Hyde Park Corner. Kensington was initially intended as a private retreat by William and Mary, and the domestic character of the building was underlined by the fact that it was always referred to as Kensington House, and not as Kensington Palace.

	For the next 70 years, the palace hosted not only the court of William and Mary, but also the courts of [[Anne I]], [[George I]] and [[George II]]. It is also the birthplace of the later [[Victoria\|Queen Victoria]]. During the reign of Queen Anne, a number of alterations to the gardens and palace grounds were effected, the most famous of which is the building of the Orangery in 1704 / 05. Under George I, the core of the old Nottingham House was reconstructed (probably by [[Colen Campbell]]). In that period, many decorative paintings were added to the ceilings of the reconstructed Palace, most of them by [[William Kent]].
