Out with the old: a new baroque palace
At the end of the 17th century, William III and Mary II decided to knock down large chunks of Hampton Court in order to build a stunning new palace in the latest baroque style. They never finished their new palace, meaning that today Hampton Court is half Tudor, and half baroque. Learn about what makes Hampton Court such a fine example of this over-the-top style of architecture and interior design, in a 45 minute illustrated talk.
