Secrets of Henry VIII's Palace: Hampton Court

This was a fascinating history of Henry VIII's favorite place to be. It is a beautiful and stunning castle even now. There is so much history involved with the castle. I really wish it had been longer than an hour.

I have always wanted to see Hampton Court but haven't made it there yet so I am absolutely thrilled to have this lovely dvd!!! It whets the appetite to see this lovely palace. I like the series of dvds that are being done now. I already have Secrets of Highclere Castle which is WONDERFUL, and I think Secrets of Chatsworth is next on my list...if you are an Anglophile or if you are fascinated by Henry VIII, this is a treat!!!

Well in a way they can. I didn't realize that it's from two different periods as the part that's usually shown is the Tudor front. I found the fact that it was going to pulled down by William III and Queen Mary for upgrading and that it consists of two different eras very interesting as well as the monarchs who inhabited it.

I love castles, large homes and houses in general. As far as a home goes, this one is right up there with the best. Its not exactly what you think of as a castle; but is beautifully elegant and has so much history. Great watching.

Hampton court is excellent. You relive the history with such incredible photograhy of the interior in the manor. The grounds are very large and beautifully manicured. To have the wonderful history and marvelous photography of Hampton court during the period of King Henry and those who followed is really great.

Tghe video was well done but seemed to like the depth which was expected from it. It was quite informative but did not show enought to make to outstanding..

I've always been fascinated with the architecture of larger homes and castles. This palace was originally built for Cardinal Wolsey, however, Henry VIII eventually ended up with it. This is only one of the many palaces that was used by him.

I can't imagine building these beautiful palaces. I'm glad I don't have to keep them sparkling clean, though.

Another lovely documentary on historic royal life. A welcome addition to my collection.

This is a beautiful way to both tour a lovely old building with an informative guide and to learn a lot about the period of history in which Henry VIII lived. Definitely makes history more alive and enjoyable. Even the kids liked it. Great job!

Enjoyed this DVD very much!!!

ENJOYED THIS. WOULD WATCH AGAIN.
