Hampton Court Palace by Matthew-Sturgis
The incredible history of one of Britain's greatest palaces and the history of the monarchy that made it so. This is a comprehensive history of Hampton Court Palace from the time of Thomas Wolsey to the present day. The story of the palace is also the story of the many ups and downs of the monarchy itself. Re-designed, rebuilt, constantly altered and extended, it stands testimony to the political times and cultural movements of its past. Once a favourite royal residence and now one of England's greatest historical treasures, Hampton Court Palace embodies the unique and fascinating history of England's monarchy.
