What ghostly happenings have there been at Hampton Court? Who is the grey lady?
John Blanke was a royal trumpeter in the courts of Henry VII and Henry VIII, and remains the only black Tudor for whom we have an identifiable image.
As a self-funding charity, we urgently need your help to reduce the impact of the Coronavirus.
Our palaces are expensive to maintain. We spent £32 million conserving and maintaining them in the last financial year. The running costs of Hampton Court Palace (with over 1390 rooms) are eye-watering. Please help us by giving what you can. Thank you.
Volunteers support the palaces in many different ways. See what roles we have available and register your interest.
