The banquet hall itself was temporary at this time, but was later built by the architect, Inigo Jones, who also staged The Masque of Blackness.

Throughout this essay I will explore to what extent Inigo Jones’s design for the Queens House was inspired by the works of Palladio and Palladian architecture and 15-16th century European architectural precedents, while also exploring the role the building played on the development of Neoclassical architecture on a wider scale. The Queens House represents the stylistic point of origin for the great imposing buildings surrounding Greenwich but also for Neo-Classical architecture in Britain more generally
architectural history were: Inigo Jones and Christopher Wren. Inigo Jones was born in July 1573 in London to a cloth worker. Little is known about the childhood of Jones, however he was trained as a painter until he went to Italy in 1601 at the age of 28
A good story is full of adventure, danger and heroes. A hero always takes risks to save someone other than themselves. A hero is purpose driven, and overcomes great odds to accomplish what they set out to do.

Wesley and Buttercup traveled to the west. Buttercup: “Where are we off to now?” Westley: “Wherever your heart Desires.”As they rode off into the sunset to start their new adventure they talked about their future together.
