In Fountain Court, Hampton Court Palace

London, March 2015, starting with Hampton Court Palace, built for Thomas Wolsey, taken over by Henry VIII and or for Ann Boleyn

 

"Fountain Court is one of the most homogenous spaces at Hampton Court Palace, with little alteration or reconstruction since its creation by Sir Christopher Wren between 1689-94. The ranges represent some of the finest Baroque elevations in England and hold the royal state and private apartments constructed for William III and Mary II and used extensively by the royal family until the mid-eighteenth century. The Court is built as a cloister, paved with red and grey Swedish marble, around a central lawn with large round pool and fountain."
