Hampton Court

East Molesey, England

Chelsea and I were off today to Hampton Court, a royal palace in the London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames.  King Henry VIII lived here at one time.  When King William III lived here it took on a massive rebuilding and expansion project and was intended to rival Versailles.  Sir Christopher Wren’s architectural work was so expensive that only half of it was completed.  (I had to throw in Sir Christopher Wren because he is one of my ancestors, my 5th great grandfather I believe.)  It hasn’t been inhabited by royalty since the 18th century.
