TREASURES found under Fulham Palace are now on display in a free exhibition.
The collection showcases the findings of the archaeological work which has taken place at the site for nearly half a century.
Highlights include the skulls of a horse and dog dating back to the third century, which were dug up in 1972.
Fulham Palace is believed to be the home to the longest medieval moat in England, which was excavated in 2011, and will now be on display to visitors.
These new developments are partly the result of an £8million improvement programme, an initiative funded by Hammersmith and Fulham Council and the Heritage Lottery Fund, granted to Fulham Palace and the adjoining Bishop’s Park.
The programme has also updated other palace facilities.
The cafe has been refurbished, the park’s ornamental lake has been restored and three play areas have been built.
Deputy leader of Hammersmith and Fulham Council Greg Smith said: “Fulham Palace is of huge historic and cultural importance to the borough and this exhibition will shine a light on its vibrant past.”
