I think that's very very interesting I was wondering how did they keep the bricks from decaying and dissolving what they put on them I keep them from decaying do they have to replace him every once in a while I close the place down got to spray them with something to keep them from rotting and decaying
@nelliesfarm8473 💗 You make me feel guilty. I leave 25 minutes (walking) away from Hampton Court Palace and I visited only once. I go very often to Bushy Park, though.
@@AnonYmous-lm3uvDon’t feel too guilty. America doesn’t have anything much as ancient buildings but Mother Nature gave us a bit of everything. I shouldn’t say gave but you know what I’m saying. Still my goal is to visit your country and it’s amazing history.
@@margaretstockton-davies3828 hello, I really appreciate your tours especially, since I lost my ability to walk and I'm 100 % bed bound the past 5 years. I used to travel a lot, when I could walk. I've been to London, of course, but I never went to this place. I have to admit that, London isn't my favourite city but it is very interesting. My favourite city is Venice! Your camera work is brilliant and you have the ideal voice and pretty face for this work too. Thank you very much. God bless, regards from Ireland 🇮🇪💚🇮🇪 6th of February 2022 @ 2.40 am.
@@mathonamoore123 What a lovely message, Mathona! I am so glad that I'm able to help keep you 'traveling' :) Thank you so much for your lovely comments. I have a few more videos in the work so there is plenty more to explore! And Venice is absolutely amazing, I'll keep it in the back of my mind for possible future projects xxx
I LOVED your tour Margaret! You scanned all the beautiful points of interest in a nice and easy speed so we could enjoy the beautiful castle and grounds. I really enjoyed your pretty voice as you spoke about the history of those who lived, worked, and served the royals. You are an excellent tour guide! Thank you Margaret. 😊💕
Margaret THANKYOU. This is the best video tour of HCP I’ve seen. Your production audio and presentation is just awesome. Appreciate how much research you enjoyed to produce such a quality tour. Well done
This was the best walk around tour I’ve seen of Hampton Court, really enjoyed it, so glad no more of Henry’s era was destroyed, I’m such a fan of everything Tudor, not so much the style of the late 17th century onwards, thank you!
Thanks for watching! You may also enjoy Margaret’s tours of other royal palaces: ua-cam.com/play/PLo-M-WVj_1AgnS93gTRHiJWxsgLzCt4CT.html or her Great Fire of London video: ua-cam.com/video/yN9R2MmvVNI/v-deo.html
Thank you, a beautifully presented tour, perfect camera work, and your soft voice ideal for relaxing and informed narration. A top shelf production, as good as being there - well done :)
Our pleasure, Lumi. Thanks again for watching! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
I’ve been to Hampton Court. Your presentation is almost better than being there. I’m sure I didn’t learn all the historical and architectural details you point out. Thank you.
I took my daughter here in 2009 and we ‘bumped’ into Henry the eighth as he descended the stairs…whilst I knew it was an actor it was still a surreal and amazing experience to see he come towards us 🤩
Ahh - amazing! One time when I went it was the day Anne of Cleves arrived to court and they were teaching us 16th century dances to get ready for her visit. I love it there, it's like going back in time!
I am reading "The private lives of the Tudors" at the moment by Tracey Borman. This has really brought it to life. It talks about all the accounts and ledgers, plus the different areas of Hampton court and other palaces. Thanks.
Excellent book and great author. Perfect timing with the book and the video together. We also have a Tower of London one that might compliment the book, too: ua-cam.com/video/JbK3-hEP0DA/v-deo.html
@@margaretstockton-davies3828 I agree. I'm a history tragic. I find all the politics, customs , and happenings fascinating. Every time i watch or read etc I get something more out of the history.
Thank you for taking your time and not rushing through the palace. I felt as though I were truly visiting. A very enjoyable experience which, for me made time stand still !
So glad you liked this one, Lillian! You might also enjoy Margaret's tours of The Palace of Westminster (ua-cam.com/video/nPD2nJjqenI/v-deo.html) and the Tower of London (ua-cam.com/video/JbK3-hEP0DA/v-deo.html)
What a wonderful video. The narrative was professionally executed. I live in scotland meaning it is very difficult to personally attend to see these historical places. I love anything history related and found this video fasinating and truely informative. Thank you.
Absolutely amazing Margaret! The opulence is mind boggling to say the very least and this is just one building! Thank you for the recommendation with the link. The decorated rooms, the stunning tapestries, beautiful gardens…..and history. Thank you! ❤️🇦🇺🇬🇧
I would definitely be interested in the wives of Henry VIII. I really appreciate the detail of this tour. I also like how soothing Margaret's voice is because it helped me to relax just before going to bed.
Hever Castle! I grew up near there. Not visited since the 1970s. Would love to see it again as I no longer live there. Bodiam Castle was a regular visit as it's in ruins and cheap.
At the beginning you mention the animals at the entrance and begin with the crowned lion. It was like the opening of a big Hollywood film the way you focus upward with the palace looming behind. I thought, "this is going to be something" and, of course, it was. Another wonderful tour, Margaret. And another "medieval" fire extinguisher. I burst out laughing again. Your humour shines through. The amount of information that you share with such ease is as enticing as when I read biographies of this era by Alison Weir and others. That unknown man in red is intriguing. Very dramatic portrait. Another successful tour. This is why i subscribed after seeing the first video. See you on the next go-round. Cheers. 🥂🎉
Ah! Your kind words and lovely compliments have made my day again, R.J. A comparison to Alison Weir is absolutely amazing! I am so glad you liked this one, too. I have one I am editing right now but I promise on my next excursion I'll keep an eye out for more historical fire extinguishers ;) Looking forward to see which one you watch next! xx

A real treasure. In my view the best attraction in London. The best way to get there is to take the boat from Westminster and enjoy the sights along the river. Then take the train back to London. The station is right near the palace.
What a treat. Most guides talk so fast that you can't absorb half of what they are telling you. Thank you for sharing your talent...much appreciated and enjoyed.
Omg the reminents of Anne Boleyn. I like to think of Elizabeth the 1st seeing them and smiling to her self. Swearing to stand by the meaning of her mother's white falcon, ambitious and restless in her pursuits💕

As an ex pat I left the U k at a fairly young age Always interested in history I did manage to visit some but no where near that I would have wished This is one of the most informative and well presented ( well done Margaret) I have seen The paintings were beautiful and information given. How Hampton court must have been a bustling, noisy busy place especially the kitchens What wonderful craftsmanship back then for us to marvel at hundreds of years later
I am so glad you enjoyed the video, David! I wish I could visit the Palace for a few minutes of history just to see what it would've been like. And so true about the craftsmanship, hopefully not a completely dying art xx

The palace was used in the vanity fair movie with reese Witherspoon. I happened to visit a few days before filming & they had signs up saying as much. It's part of reason I wanted to watch it. It's a good film & can clearly tell scenes were filmed at the palace.
You are so welcome, Dawn. Thanks again for watching! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
What a fascinating tour of Hampton Court. I enjoyed your narration. Your voice is very clear and pleasing to listen to while exploring this fabulous palace. I've been to London a few times but never made it to Hampton Court Palace. I really didn't know much about it really, or even where it was exactly in London. You've opened a whole new place for me to visit! The gardens are beautiful. It's hard to believe the palace is as old as it is and the history is amazing. Thank you for bringing it to us. Can you point out any of the other videos that you have narrated? We appreciate your very measured speech that makes everything sound so interesting!
Oh this was so lovely to read - thank you! I am sorry for the delay in replying (I have been in the US visiting family). I am so glad you enjoyed the video and that I was able to share something new with you!
Thanks for watching, Lulu! It's not the phonebook, but you may enjoy Margaret's tour of the Tower of London here: ua-cam.com/video/JbK3-hEP0DA/v-deo.html :)
Happy new year, Joy! Glad that you enjoyed this. Margaret also filmed at the Tower of London, in case you are interested ua-cam.com/video/JbK3-hEP0DA/v-deo.html.
That was fascinating abs so well presented! I have just finished watching “ The Tudors” for at least the fifth time and was thrilled to find this program! Yes I find those fireplace watchmen a little creepy too! 😁🇨🇦

Thank you so much! And I LOOOOVE The Tudors - the costumes are just incredible. I'm going to visit Hever Castle next month and I'm looking forward to sharing it with you! And YES that fireplace haunts me still...
Thank you for making this very well presented video series. There are many people who are unable to visit these Royal residences, who can now enjoy learning about them and the Royals and architects who made them. These buildings and gardens are so huge, my mobility scooter batteries would have failed a long way back.
You are most welcome, Clare! I am so glad I can share them with every one :) And the scooter battery made me laugh (my dad's ran out while we were in an elevator once..!).
Got yourself a new proud sub. Right up my alley.thank you so much and I look forward to binging on what you have and what you have coming in the future. Great job
Wonderfully informative and makes me want to learn more! Regarding the painting of the man in red at 36 minutes-ish, I think he bears some resemblance to other paintings of Edward VI. He died at 15 in 1553, so perhaps painted when he was a child, and some licence was taken by the artist, imagining him as older? Of course if it was painted in the early 1530s this couldnt apply.
The queen and her children did not have the typical mother child relationship. His mother had an affair and that was equal to treason. Her son would not have called her MOM. And would have stood by his father's decision.
Thank you so much, Mitch! You might like my other two videos, too: Palace of Westminster - ua-cam.com/video/nPD2nJjqenI/v-deo.html and Tower of London - ua-cam.com/video/JbK3-hEP0DA/v-deo.html

Thank you for this, although I visited Hampton Court with my school sixty years ago it's never to late for a refresher. The town where I was born and lived for many years also has a Palace with moat, it is called Eltham Palace and is I believe almost six hundred years old. It was mainly used as a hunting lodge for the Tudor Kings and Queens of England, it always makes me smile when I walk past this Palace, it sits between the most expensive road for property in the area and a large council estate. Thanks again for this informative and very enjoyable video.
Glad that you enjoyed the video, Terry. I think Eltham Palace is on our list of possibile future videos. If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours ua-cam.com/users/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more of Sinead where this came from.
Enjoyed the tour but couldn’t stop laughing at the paintings and why so many of these people look like henry . even some of henry’s wives look like henry then i Imagine a single artist saying I can paint anyone you want men women children baby’s related or Unrelated as long as you don’t mind their face looking like Henry 😂
Glad that you enjoyed the video, Susan. If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours ua-cam.com/users/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more where this came from.
You have such a soothing manner of speaking . when I listen to this video I enjoyed it immensely watching you on on utube dedicate your heart and your soul into every single room of King Henry's Palace. Thank you so much for the beautiful tour
I had a place in the French Quarter once with a ceiling like that (smaller of course lol) but very old and had a chandelier hanging as well. I adored it!
Your videos help me cope when I am unwell - I travel virtually and relive happier days when I could travel. I love your videos.. I would love to see some tours of historic graveyards and old houses - also homes of great writers - Jane Austen etc.. thank you
We are glad to help you 'travel,' Susanna! We've got three cemetery tours so far - ua-cam.com/play/PLo-M-WVj_1Ag_HYzErI1-svYdDmHPHgpN.html - and there are more to come :)

I have one I am editing right now but I promise on my next excursion I'll keep an eye out for more historical fire extinguishers ;) Looking forward to see which one you watch next! xx
Thank you so much. Although I’ve visited the Palace a few years ago your tour was excellent and I learned so much.
Thank you for your kind words, Margaret!
Pleased you enjoyed this one, Margaret!

It's just amazing people can build such a detailed beautiful building in the 1500s. It's crazy 😮😮
Right?! It's incredible to think of the hundreds of people responsible throughout the centuries.

Aw - I am so glad you thought so! It's my pleasure :)
I thought so too
Many summer visits when I was growing up a long time ago we used to take a green line bus to get there and back home.

@@margaretstockton-davies3828 They are! I love how they even have a musical based on them now. 😁You did great!
A real treasure. In my view the best attraction in London. The best way to get there is to take the boat from Westminster and enjoy the sights along the river. Then take the train back to London. The station is right near the palace.
What a treat. Most guides talk so fast that you can't absorb half of what they are telling you. Thank you for sharing your talent...much appreciated and enjoyed.

Omg the reminents of Anne Boleyn. I like to think of Elizabeth the 1st seeing them and smiling to her self. Swearing to stand by the meaning of her mother's white falcon, ambitious and restless in her pursuits💕
Yes!! I love this thought.
Those tapestries were also the means by which any of the castle rooms could be kept warm: insulated.
That's how I kept one of my dafty rooms warm. Makes sense.
Great video. And your voice is so soothing. Great work.
Thank you so much :)

Thanks for watching, Faye! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
Thank you, Fay!
As an ex pat I left the U k at a fairly young age
Always interested in history I did manage to visit some but no where near that I would have wished
This is one of the most informative and well presented ( well done Margaret) I have seen
The paintings were beautiful and information given.
How Hampton court must have been a bustling, noisy busy place especially the kitchens
What wonderful craftsmanship back then for us to marvel at hundreds of years later
Thanks for watching, David! You may also enjoy Margaret’s tours of other royal palaces: ua-cam.com/play/PLo-M-WVj_1AgnS93gTRHiJWxsgLzCt4CT.html
I am so glad you enjoyed the video, David! I wish I could visit the Palace for a few minutes of history just to see what it would've been like. And so true about the craftsmanship, hopefully not a completely dying art xx
What a great docent and a voice I could listen to for hours!❤

Glad you liked it! :)
Thank you for the tour!! Excellent guide!! 👏👏
Stay tuned. We have more palace videos coming up.
Glad you liked it, Nick :)
This is amazing. I hope to go there one day. I kept seeing these peculiar orbs of light that are often associated with spirits, I wouldn't be surprised if they are still roaming around today.

Well spotted! People have mentioned the one in the wine cellar. I didn't see anything there at the time so interesting to see what turns up on 'film.'
Went their this past summer king Henry is the most interesting king such a magnificent place
Agreed! Although I have a soft spot for George III and Charles II, too.
The palace was used in the vanity fair movie with reese Witherspoon. I happened to visit a few days before filming & they had signs up saying as much. It's part of reason I wanted to watch it. It's a good film & can clearly tell scenes were filmed at the palace.
Oooh interesting. I've not seen that film yet but now I want to! Thanks for the info :)
This was SPECTACULAR! thank YOU
You are so welcome, Dawn. Thanks again for watching! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
You are welcome, Dawn!
What a fascinating tour of Hampton Court. I enjoyed your narration. Your voice is very clear and pleasing to listen to while exploring this fabulous palace. I've been to London a few times but never made it to Hampton Court Palace. I really didn't know much about it really, or even where it was exactly in London. You've opened a whole new place for me to visit! The gardens are beautiful. It's hard to believe the palace is as old as it is and the history is amazing. Thank you for bringing it to us. Can you point out any of the other videos that you have narrated? We appreciate your very measured speech that makes everything sound so interesting!
Oh this was so lovely to read - thank you! I am sorry for the delay in replying (I have been in the US visiting family). I am so glad you enjoyed the video and that I was able to share something new with you!
This was so enjoyable and informative, I loved it. I’d probably listen to Margaret read the telephone directory, what a lovely voice.
Aw, thank you so much, Lulu!

That was fascinating abs so well presented! I have just finished watching “ The Tudors” for at least the fifth time and was thrilled to find this program! Yes I find those fireplace watchmen a little creepy too! 😁🇨🇦

Thank you so much! And I LOOOOVE The Tudors - the costumes are just incredible. I'm going to visit Hever Castle next month and I'm looking forward to sharing it with you! And YES that fireplace haunts me still...
Thank you for making this very well presented video series. There are many people who are unable to visit these Royal residences, who can now enjoy learning about them and the Royals and architects who made them. These buildings and gardens are so huge, my mobility scooter batteries would have failed a long way back.
You are most welcome, Clare! I am so glad I can share them with every one :) And the scooter battery made me laugh (my dad's ran out while we were in an elevator once..!).
Got yourself a new proud sub. Right up my alley.thank you so much and I look forward to binging on what you have and what you have coming in the future. Great job
Well done! Your presenting skill is exceptional and much appreciated thank you

The architecture is magnificent…and loved the paintings ….very beautiful ….
Wonderfully informative and makes me want to learn more! Regarding the painting of the man in red at 36 minutes-ish, I think he bears some resemblance to other paintings of Edward VI. He died at 15 in 1553, so perhaps painted when he was a child, and some licence was taken by the artist, imagining him as older? Of course if it was painted in the early 1530s this couldnt apply.
Oh, that's an interesting thought, Jen! I like it.
I thought it was similar to Edward also.
The queen and her children did not have the typical mother child relationship. His mother had an affair and that was equal to treason. Her son would not have called her MOM. And would have stood by his father's decision.
A truly wonderful video Margaret. Made all the better by your stunningly beautiful speaking voice. God bless you. Love from England

The tour was one of the best I have ever seen. in fact i can't think of one better. The tour guide was absolutely outstanding in all respects, and of interest only to me it was posted on December 3th which happens to be my birthday.

What lovely words to read, C.F., thank you so much! And, obviously, the date it was published means it was destiny for you to watch this :)
Thank you for this, although I visited Hampton Court with my school sixty years ago it's never to late for a refresher. The town where I was born and lived for many years also has a Palace with moat, it is called Eltham Palace and is I believe almost six hundred years old. It was mainly used as a hunting lodge for the Tudor Kings and Queens of England, it always makes me smile when I walk past this Palace, it sits between the most expensive road for property in the area and a large council estate. Thanks again for this informative and very enjoyable video.
Glad that you enjoyed the video, Terry. I think Eltham Palace is on our list of possibile future videos.

So glad you liked this one, Joby! Sinead has been filming in Windsor this week so keep an eye out :)
Thanks, Joby!
Enjoyed the tour but couldn’t stop laughing at the paintings and why so many of these people look like henry . even some of henry’s wives look like henry then i Imagine a single artist saying I can paint anyone you want men women children baby’s related or Unrelated as long as you don’t mind their face looking like Henry 😂
More Henry VII content coming up in future videos. We'll be sure to focus on the paintings!
Hahaha - I love this comment!
Thank you. I enjoy your tours. I had a whirlwind tour back in 1980 and only remember bits and pieces, but your commentary refreshes everything.
So glad to bring you back there virtually, Susan! :)

the halloween decorations must be extremely confusing for the ghosts
Would say so. Hope that you enjoyed the video.

No wonder Henry left the country bankrupt, is it?
Haha - it's easy to see why, isn't it?
Thank you thank you! Your style, knowledge, soothing voice all make your videos a pleasure!
I'm so glad you liked it, Marilyn!
You have such a soothing manner of speaking . when I listen to this video I enjoyed it immensely watching you on on utube dedicate your heart and your soul into every single room of King Henry's Palace. Thank you so much for the beautiful tour

Harry’s Moto !! BED’m WED’m HEAD’m
It’s amazing there are any animals left! Great video with good detail, spoilt by seeing people in masks-inhuman mandates.
I had a place in the French Quarter once with a ceiling like that (smaller of course lol) but very old and had a chandelier hanging as well. I adored it!
Oh man that sounds AMAZING!
what an amazing tour!...thank you
My pleasure, Jeff!
Fantastic tour. My sister lived only a couple of miles away for many years. I think my family only got there once. I wish we had been more often.
Maybe one day in the future, Peter? I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Your videos help me cope when I am unwell - I travel virtually and relive happier days when I could travel. I love your videos.. I would love to see some tours of historic graveyards and old houses - also homes of great writers - Jane Austen etc.. thank you
