Palace built by Cardinal Wolsey. After his fall from grace it came into the hands of the Tudors and became one of their favourite places of residence. In contrast to Nonsuch (which fell into neglect and crumbled away in the 17th century), Hampton Palace still exists and is considered one of the high points of Tudor architecture.
