Cardinalul Wolsey, arhiepiscop de York în vremea lui Henric VIII, a început în anul 1514 construirea unei reşedinţe de ţară pe malul Tamisei

Hampton Court Palace is a royal palace located 11.7 miles (18.8 km) south west of Charing Cross and upstream of Central London on the River Thames. It was originally built for Cardinal Wolsey, a favourite of King Henry VIII, circa 1514

În anul 1528 în speranţa păstrării bunăvoinţei regale el a oferit-o lui Henric VIII şi Hampton Court a devenit palat regal

In 1529, as Wolsey fell from favour, the palace was passed to the King, who enlarged it. Today, the palace is open to the public, and a major tourist attraction.

Bucătăriile Tudor vast Tudor kitchens

În vremea lui Henric VIII erau hrăniţi zilnic 1000 de oameni, bucătăriile fiind foarte importante

Henry VIII's first building project at Hampton Court created vast kitchens capable of feeding his court of 1000 people.

Hampton Court Palace a fost reconstruit şi apoi extins de mai multe ori. În 1690 a fost angajat ca arhitect Cristopher Wren, care a creat şi vastul peisaj baroc al grădinilor

Following King Charles' execution in 1649, the palace became the property of the Commonwealth presided over by Oliver Cromwell. Unlike some other former royal properties, the palace escaped relatively unscathed.

After the Restoration, Mary II (r 1689-94) commissioned Sir Christopher Wren to rebuild Hampton Court.Hornuri (fumuri) stil Tudor

Poarta Annei Boleyn este una dintre intrările în Curtea Ceasului

Ceasul astronomic a fost creat pentru Henric VIII în anul 1540

The gatehouse to the second, inner court was adorned in 1540 with an early example of a post-Copernican astronomical clock. Still functioning, the clock shows the time of day, the phases of the moon, the month, the quarter of the year, the date, the sun and star sign, and high water at London Bridge.
