More about Hampton Court Palace:
Hampton Court Palace dates back to the 16th Century. Constructed on the bank of the River Thames by Cardinal Thomas Wolseley, it was soon to be inhabited by King Henry VIII who immediately began making substantial changes to the palace. During his reign, many important events took place here. It was at Hampton Court that the King sent his first letter to the pope threatening to break with the Roman Catholic Church, and was also where he divorced and married several of his wives. But by the late 1600’s, large parts of the Tudor palace had been demolished by Sir Christopher Wren, this time making renovations and extensions for King William III and Queen Mary II. When some 70 years later George III became king, the palace was abandoned as a royal residence and was instead divided up into apartments and residences.
