The Savoy

The Savoy is a small district of the Strand, London, in which a palace was built in 1245 called of the Savoy, in which John of France was confined after his capture at Poitiers. It was burnt at the time of the Wat Tyler insurrection, but rebuilt in 1505 as a hospital. It included a chapel, which was damaged by fire in 1864, but restored by the Queen.
