Anthony Bec, Bishop of Durham, and Patriarch of Jerusalem, bestowed great cost, we are told, on the buildings at this place, and died there on the 28th of March 1311, having, as it is said, some time before given Eltham-house to Edward the Second, or, as some say, to Queen Isabel.... Edward frequently resided here. In 1315, his Queen was brought to bed of a son in this palace, called, from that circumstance, John of Eltham. Edward the Third held a Parliament at Eltham in 1329, and again in 1375.</p></blockquote> <p>The nearby manor of Well Hall was home to Sir John Pulteney, four times <a href="/wiki/Lord_Mayor_of_London" title="Lord Mayor of London">Lord Mayor of London</a>, and later to wealthy Catholic <a href="/wiki/William_Roper_(biographer)" class="mw-redirect" title="William Roper (biographer)">William Roper</a> and his wife Margaret (daughter of Sir Thomas More, known to Catholics as <a href="/wiki/Saint" title="Saint">Saint</a> <a href="/wiki/Thomas_More" title="Thomas More">Thomas More</a>, Chancellor to King <a href="/wiki/Henry_VIII" title="Henry VIII">Henry VIII</a>).

By the beginning of World War II, four large estates were in existence: the <a href="/wiki/Progress_Estate" title="Progress Estate">Progress Estate</a> (1915), the Page Estate (1923), <a href="/wiki/Middle_Park,_London" title="Middle Park, London">Middle Park</a> (1931–36), and <a href="/wiki/Horn_Park" title="Horn Park">Horn Park</a> (begun 1936, completed 1950s). The latter two were built on Eltham Palace's former hunting parks. <a href="/wiki/Coldharbour_Estate" class="mw-redirect" title="Coldharbour Estate">Coldharbour Estate</a> was built in 1947. The small council estates of Pippenhall and Strongbow Crescent were completed about 1960. Since that time new house building has been limited to small private "infill developments" and replacements for demolished properties. </p><p>Eltham residents occupy a housing stock of mixed age, particularly towards Eltham Park and the multiple streets with 'Glen' in their names. There are some fine houses scattered around Eltham. At least two roads, North Park and Court Road, contain million pound homes, and some of the older Victorian buildings have been subdivided into apartments. </p><p>A <a href="/wiki/Micropub" title="Micropub">Micropub</a>, The Long Pond, was opened in December 2014 - the first pub in Eltham Park for at least 115 years as Archibald Cameron Corbett would not give permission for pubs and put a restrictive covenant on the land. However, since the <a href="/wiki/Licensing_Act_2003" title="Licensing Act 2003">Licensing Act 2003</a> was implemented in 2005, Premise Licences are now granted by the local authority (<a href="/wiki/Greenwich_London_Borough_Council" title="Greenwich London Borough Council">Greenwich London Borough Council</a>) instead of magistrates, as long as the applicant satisfies the council and the "responsible authorities" (such as Police, Environmental Health, Fire Service) that they will uphold the four licensing objectives (prevention of crime and disorder; public safety; prevention of public nuisance, protection of children from harm), then a licence will be granted. Several licensed premises in Eltham Park now offer "Off Sales". </p><p><b>Domestic architecture</b> </p> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-packed"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 162px"> <div
