NOTES: Following the 1698 fire which destroyed most of Whitehall Palace, Sir Christopher Wren was instructed to fit out the Banqueting House as a Chapel Royal to replace the ruined Tudor chapel. William III attended services there on Christmas Day of that year and it remained in use as a chapel until 1890.
