What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Hampton Court Palace as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Hampton Court Palace was originally built by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey in the early 16th century and later expanded by King Henry VIII in the 1530s. It is important as a key example of Tudor architecture and as a former royal residence with significant historical associations, including the Reformation and the court of Henry VIII.
