He probably commissioned wooden panelling,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tudor Panels – Steyning Parish Church of St Andrew and St Cuthman |url=https://steyningparishchurch.org/tudor-panels/ |access-date=2023-04-26 |language=en-GB}}</ref> originally for the Bishop of London's Palace at Fulham, which, eventually, became a screen now displayed in the Parish Church of St Andrew and St Cuthman in [[Steyning]], [[West Sussex]]. It commemorates the wedding of [[Henry VIII]] and [[Catherine of Aragon]], bearing the Royal Arms and Catherine's pomegranates, as well as Richard FitzJames Coat of Arms and the date 1522. It is suggested that it would be an embarrassment after the divorce and so it was removed from [[Fulham Palace]].
