Hampton Court Palace

Sitting at the heart of the Tudor Palace, the Great Hall towers over the surrounding buildings. Commission by King Henry VII, the grandeur and size of the Great Hall remains impressive even today. 

The Chapel Royal is a grand example of Tudor opulence at Hampton Court. Installed by Henry VIII during the 1500s, the Chapel's vaulted ceiling is vibrantly colourful, rich and layered with history. In 1710 the interior of the chapel was remodelled by Sir Christoper Wren at the request of Queen Anne.
