Hampton Court

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 James I's reign, venue of the Hampton Court Conference between Anglican establishment and Puritans.

Pope's mock-epic The Rape of the Lock is partly set at Hampton Court, the place, where Queen Anne supposedly "sometimes council took and sometime tea".

In contrast to Nonsuch (which fell into neglect and crumbled away in the 17th century), Hampton Court still exists and is considered one of the high points of Tudor architecture.
