Hampton Court Palace

With the famous flower show happening this week it only seemed appropriate to do a page on one of my visits to Hampton Court.

 Hampton Court was the palace to King Henry VIII, known for his six wives. The palace originally belonged to Thomas Wolsey, however, in 1514 the King took over the site, and enlarged it.

 The palace is made from beautifully handcrafted red brick and stone. Every detail has been beautifully crafted, down to each chimney, carved out of the bright red brick
