Hampton Court Palace
Home to King Henry VIII (after he suggested to his friend Cardinal Wolsey that he gift his house), William III and Mary II, and soon to be Matthew I.
A nice day for a palace, a row, and gray clouds
Would you like some tea with that, England?
It's only the beginning.
Base Court
King Henry VIII?
Where my Dad lived in his previous life
Peasant #1:
Peasant #2:
Caption contest, submit your ideas.
The Roaster - his job is to turn the meat for many hours
King Henry VIII's wine cellar - Top that Z
Fountain Court - an addition designed by Christopher Wren, paid for by William III and Mary II
I wish I would have been a King's neighbor back in my lawn-mowing days
They made very good use of their guns
The Privy Garden
Bowling anyone?
Banquet Hall - notice the wood ceiling made by a "Master" Carpenter
The Mushroom Tree Garden (not the official name)
Stop looking at me Swan!
Proof, I was here.
The Maze
Yay!
Palace from the Privy Garden
The Pond Garden
They had two pond gardens!
Vine
The Great Vine, not to be confused with the criss cross feet action.
It is the oldest known vine in the world, planted between 1768-1774
It keeps growing
And so do the roots
The wealth just never ends...
