Exploring Hampton Court Palace

Join Roger on a fascinating journey through the hidden secrets and craftsmanship of Hampton Court Palace. This iconic Tudor palace, initially owned by Cardinal Wolsey and later seized by Henry VIII, is packed with history and architectural marvels.

From its stunning "diaper pattern" brickwork to the lead plumbing intricately woven throughout the building, Roger uncovers the small details that make this place unique. You'll see how centuries of renovations – from Tudor stone-framed windows to Victorian sash replacements – have transformed the palace while keeping its character intact.

Walk through the grand courtyards, marvel at the massive chimneys, and peek into the royal chocolate kitchen, where Henry VIII indulged his sweet tooth. Roger also delves into the fantastic craftsmanship of the rainwater systems and explores the little-known methods of Tudor plumbing and heating. He even stumbles upon some graffiti scratched into the stone centuries ago, revealing the palace’s deep history through every brick and beam.

And don't miss Roger's chance encounter with the friendly ice cream vendor just outside the palace – a sweet perk of this fantastic adventure! If you're passionate about Tudor history and royal architecture or want to see life behind the palace walls, this Hampton Court tour will captivate you.
