Cardinal Wolsey purchased this area in 1514 and began construction in 1515. The palace was built entirely in Tudor style with 1,280 rooms inside, making it the most magnificent building in the country at the time. Later, because of his wealth, Wolsey attracted the king's dissatisfaction. After his death in 1530, the palace became the property of Henry VIII. Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn moved into the palace and began to expand it. King Edward VI of England was born here. It is said that Elizabeth I used this place as a love nest to avoid the eyes and ears of Parliament.
Today, Hampton Court Palace shows the world two completely different sides. From the west, you can appreciate the charm of the red Tudor palace of Henry's era and the brilliant features of Renaissance garden art; and the ancient backyard is the magnificent symmetry of the Baroque style designed by Christopher Lane.
It’s a lovely day out, especially when it’s a sunny day. We went to an English pub before hand and walked over. The gardens are massive to scroll around in and the many galleries inside to see historic items.
