Cuddington was a village in Surrey, England which was demolished to make way for Henry VIII's Nonsuch Palace near Cheam.
[3] Cuddington lay within the Copthorne hundred, a strategic and judicial division predominantly used in Anglo Saxon England to supplement the county and parish (see vestry).
In the Middle Ages the estates of Cuddington extended over 1,859 acres (752 ha), the southern part being upon the chalk downs, the centre on the Woolwich and Thanet beds, the rest upon the London clay.
The palace was never fully completed by Henry VIII but was sufficient under Mary I of England to be used by Keeper of the Banqueting House, Sir Thomas Cawarden to entertain Gilles de Noailles, the French Ambassador.
The Tudor period historian and classical civilisation connoisseur John Leland praised the palace's design in Latin verse.
