I've seen several documentaries about Hampton Court, but never with so much detail and background information. Simon, your video tops them all! I so enjoyed this personal guided tour.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment. It means a lot 😊
@@MemorySeekers ⚘❤
❤️😊
Absoloutely agree! I’m really listening and enjoying these! Jus I’m learning a lot! Great facts and keeps my attention in the best of ways! Professional yet very personable! I’m so appreciative ♥️‼️🙋♀️☮️
Definitely better than the BBC one, this one is so much less…stale. Love it!!
For those of us who can never visit, this is an amazing alternative . Thank you so very much ❤
Our pleasure!
My ancestor Henry Howard the earl of Surrey was a frequent visitor at Hampton Court. Love hearing about it
I've always wondered if Jane Seymour the actress was a reincarnation of Queen Jane Seymour. After all they're both important individuals and there are a lot of cultural similarities between the British aristocracy and Hollywood. But lately I've been wondering if there was no intermission between these 2 identities because Jane Seymour is a vampire. There was no need to change her name because it's fairly common. Unlike Otto von Bismarck who had to pick up another alias because his name was just like, too unique.
Loved my visit to Hampton Court. Number 1 on my list of places to see. It was surreal just walking around knowing who had lived there.
Hope you get to visit, wonderful place 😊
@@MemorySeekers Visited summer 2008. Always been a fan of Henry VIII, my favourite historical character, so it was my first must see, along with the Tower of London. Just walking the streets of London was brilliant. Fabulous!
I got to visit here just a few years ago with my mum and son. It was so awesome to walk in. Place where so many historical figures walked. Also the little graffiti marks from 1500 to 1700 is cool.
Im an Irish woman who is facinated with the Tudor history its been my dteam for 30 yesrs to go there but as per something always " came up " but now for my 60th birthday present from my family i will finally see for real what iv dreamed about for so long. I love English history its wonderful. Cant wait. ❤
What a wonderful gift, enjoy your visit!
@@MemorySeekers Thanl you. It was everything I dreamed it would be.
Enjoyed as usual. Loved the gardens and the kitchen. Very interesting. Hugs and blessings.
Thank you Joen 😊
What an amazing place, the workmanship and the art never ceases to amaze me. Compare that to the bland facades on buildings built now. You could spend days there and still miss some of the building and gardens. Thank you once again Simon and Will. I love it when I see you have added a new clip though I often go back through your ever increasing library of amazing visits to places that I would never otherwise visit. Thank you again.
You are right they don’t build them like they used too. So much history and mystery in the walls. If only they could talk! 😊
Best tour of Hampton Court by far. Your shots are lovely and professional, you give just enough detail, and you show us everything, including the various gardens and what their uses were. Thank you for this amazing tour! I hope to go in person myself someday.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment. This feedback keeps us going making new videos 😊
Thank you so much for letting me tag along with you! So beautiful to see.On to the next.... Take care!
Our pleasure glad you liked it.
Amazing video. Such great palace I didn't know. It's incredible the luxury the kings and queens lived. UK is a live museum, one treasure after other. How much I appreciate this historic tour. Waiting for the next 🤩
It has been said before many times that the UK is like one large Period Drama Theme Park. To be fair it is all we have left.
All to be consigned to the dustbin in favour of the cultures or lack of them by the people we are allowing in
@@johnm7267 very, very sad indeed.
@@johnm7267Sadly true.
One of the more personable entries on this topic which can never be told enough. Excellent narration without the usual affectation, pleasant on the ears. Thank you for this very good telling.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment.
Amazing place full of history. I love the way you relate these walks and places. Cheers.
Ah thank you glad you liked it.
Wow! What a fantastically beautiful building! Thank you for sharing😊👏👏👏
Lugar belíssimo, obrigado por dividir comigo essa maravilha. 🙏❤
Wow! What a beautiful palace! I love the astronomical clock & the detail work on the ceilings. I must add it to my growing bucket list. As always, many thanks for your videos. I truly look forward to each & every one.
Yes the clock is quite something, one that springs to mind being similar is in Prague.
Wonderful tour of a beautiful palace. I live just up the road and almost all of my school trips were to Hampton Court and I've been back many times since. I have never managed to get in to see those tennis courts. One day haha.
Haha I don’t know why they are nearly always closed. I’ve seen them twice I think after many visits.
Absolutely loved that. All the history and gardens as well, just fabulous. Thanks so much for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care
Thank you Linda 😊
Hugely interesting and educational video!!! I learned a LOT about Hampton Court, one of my favorite places!!! I saw, and enjoyed, so much more than I ever expected!!! Best video of the day! It's early Sunday morning in Auckland City, New Zealand! Thank you so much!!! 💓
Glad that we shared something new in this video for you. There is lots more about it we never had time to talk about I am sure!
I'm also from New zealand.. in person its amazing
What an exciting place to visit, enjoyed it immensely as I have never been, must mention your photograph is excellent,
also the history and events you explain are most interesting, all about his previse wives etc, Thank you.
Thank you so much very nice to hear 😊
Thanks for the great video. Im from Wash DC but I took my Florida grandson there this past March and I was afraid that we had missed a lot, but based on this video, we didn't miss much which made me happy. It was so lovely to have so much of the gardens to ourselves since we visited during covid on a day with few visitors.
Our pleasure to show you. Glad you have seen it first hand as that is the best way, and with few other visitors even better. We had this luck when visiting the Tower of London with just a couple of hundred others there. It was magical. Thanks for watching our channel.
Hello ❤👍⚘:
I love England history 🇬🇧
Glad to hear it, so do we!
@@MemorySeekers ❤👍💐
Oh wow!! Incredible property and history. I was mesmerized and was not ready for this video to end. Great job - thank you!💖
We enjoyed making this one very much, glad you enjoyed it.
That was awesome - you really do,do a brilliant job bringing these videos to us 🙏
Thank you so much 😊
This was amazing. Thank you for showing us how spectacular Hampton Court is. One on the list for me to visit now 👍
I hope you do, it is wonderful! 😊
Thank you very much for the review of the palace. I am very interested in the Tudor period.
Our pleasure
When I visited England for two weeks in 2017, I spent an entire day at Hampton Court and still didn’t do everything there was to do. It was my single favorite attraction in England - loved it even more than Windsor Castle. Your video was so good that I learned things I’d missed while there in person. As always, thank you for the lovely tour!
We must do a tour of Windsor, a lot to see and do there!
Wonderful tour, Will and Simon! As usual, perfect pacing, great history presented so well. A treat to start my day here on the other side of the world. The palace itself is incredible, but I'm thrilled you included so much about the gardens. A grape vine planted by Capability Brown? I'm there! Thank you both for your dedication to quality content. Sending this along to my Anglophile gal friends. :)
I visited Hampton Court with secondary school girls. Nice memories of London , where we lived in Algate East , but now I'm in my country and quiet aged. Still I love my past days there . Unfortunately couldn't go back .Nice to hear this information.
Hello there so glad you enjoyed this one. Wonderful place, somewhere we have been a number of times and still new and different aspects of the palace. Capability Brown sure did get around!! 😊
Thanks for this great Video. Being a fan of C. J. Sansom's books about the lawer Matthew Shardlake in the 16th century, your film gave me an illustration to this stories. I didn't imagine that Hampton Court and the gardens are so impressive and beautiful.
So glad we were able to share this with you .
Wonderful video. It was far too cold to visit the gardens when I was there over 10 years ago. So glad you filmed it. You do a lot of research and have fascinating trivia.
Thank you glad you enjoyed it.
Very much appreciate the work you put in to all your videos (as well as the closed captions). Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Jan very kind 😊
One of the best tours I have seen of Hampton Court Palace. Thank you so much.
Thank you! 😊
We are avid gardeners, but alas, much of America is not. To see Hampton Court come alive like this, not in documentary style but on foot as if we were there, though with documentary quality camera work, is a treat. I would love an entire video on just the gardens, zoomed in and in detail. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very pleased you enjoyed the walk.
Oh this is perfect to see today . Here’s somewhere I have wanted to go to since I went with the school, seems like many many moons ago. It looks like it’s reasonably accessible by wheelchair. Thank you very much extremely interesting and clearly explained. Far better than a guide book.
Hi Pamela, I think it is not that bad for a wheelchair, even with its age looking back I think most places would be accessible. Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Very interesting dish, I really like history, thank you friend
I have watched almost every video on Hampton Court. Yours is the best I've seen. You took your time & covered everything. Even the grape vine. I loved it. Thank you again!! I'm the one that asked for a video on Chavanage House. Have you gotten there yet? I'm a pest, sorry. It does have a chapel & other ancient out buildings. I'm still a fan & I will be watching. Thanks again!
We went to Tetbury in the summer but i think it was after you asked before. That video is not out yet, and we didn’t have the time to visit the house.We have the house pinned so hopefully when back in the area we can go but i have no idea when it will be i am afraid. Thank you for watching, happy new year.
Again thank you for this calming and educating tour ❤
Thank you for watching 😊
Really beautiful video of magnificent place.
Thank you
I worked at Hampton Court for 4 years in the mid to late 80s and your documentary is the best!
Wow thank you so much for this comment. Made our day! 😊👍
Just love your detailed and thorough tours Simon and Will . Thank you.
What a treat. I'll re-watch this video. I've never seen a Hampton Court tour. Thank you!
Glad you like it 😊
Thank you. Great video. Very enjoyable watching. What a vast place!
It is huge and takes a whole day to visit properly. Wonderful!
Greetings from malta love your videos excellent documentry about hampton court i learned a lot about this magnificent place thank you and keep given us these vanderfull videos

Absolutely incredible!! Thank you for show casing it the way you have! The best video of Hampton by far!
Thank you so kind 😊
Wonderful tour of this great palace complex. Thank you!
Thank you!
Hi Will and Simon,
Its great watching your videos. Feels me roaming around the castle with all the history being told to me in the background…
Simply great…
Hello thanks for watching so pleased you like the videos 😊
Love, as always! Excellent to bring back memories of 2019! Thank you.♥️
Glad we stirred the memories 😊
@@MemorySeekers yeah♥️
Simply amazing.god bless.
I was so happy to see your new video. I missed you guys! Glad to see you are still out and about. The video was very interesting and informative.
Hello, we are only able to put videos out every other week and the moment. Lots going on so not as much time to edit videos and visit places. We hope to move back to weekly in the last few months of the year 😊 nice to know you missed us! 😊
We did a late night Halloween ghost walk at Hampton Court a few years ago and it was so atmospheric and almost other worldly. Being a Londoner I've done many night time ghost walks around beautiful historic buildings and ancient cobbled streets in our capital, but this was by far one of the best.
Good to know Nickie, might have to try that out.
Wow, glad I found your channel. That was such a great tour, thank you.
Welcome lots to catch up on! Enjoy 😊
Visited Hampton Court Palace in 2008. It truly is majestic, you're left in awe. We even visited the kitchens and had a jolly mock Medieval dinner. History comes alive in this place.
Glad you had a good time, the medieval dinner must have been fun!
@@MemorySeekers oh it was! Don't know if they so it anymore as I haven't been back. Thank you so much for giving us such beautiful memories of England in this well produced documentary!
OMG! Those murals are breathtaking!
I’ve been to Hampton many times and it’s my favourite place to visit. Alas, no longer able to walk, I’m very grateful to you for showing me again all my favourite places especially the kitchens! Thanks so much!
So glad you can watch the video and still experience it, in some way 😊
Thanks for this informative and interesting tour! It’s been many years since my last visit and you bought back some lovely memories of the palace.
So pleased we stirred the memories, maybe time to visit again! 😊
Another excellent and in depth tour. Very interesting!!
Thank you 😊
Thank you for this tour. Much appreciated !
Our pleasure!
Oh I love history so much, I never get bored of it, there's always different stories and the clothing fashion of each century and how the homes they lived in were full of life and colour and I have some respect for the person/person's who was in charge of decoration, roof decor and painting walls and ceilings and I have to say too is that I have the up most respect for all the people who worked in the kitchen preparing all that food like standing for hours and hours in front of a huge open fire and turning the meat on a spit by hand back breaking work and they're other things too but I'll end up texting for ever if I say them all.. I want to thank you so much for uploading this video and sharing the wonderful insights of king Henry's home and telling us stories about it too, cheers 🍻🤗❤️❤️❤️.. also I'll be looking forward to seeing and hearing more from you Thank you.
So pleased you have enjoyed this video Susanne. The history is fascinating and we are lucky that it is preserved for us to see up close how live was back then.
Excellent production. Well done.
Lovely! Thanks so much!
Very welcome 😊
Amazing tour. Thank you
Thank you for watching 😊
Fascinating place. Thanks so much.
You are welcome 😊
Very enjoyable video about the Hampton Court. Excellent narrative 👍🏻
Thank you very much 😊
I agree with another commentor that your information was concise and easily understood.
You certainly have a special talent for presenting your videos.
Many thanks, Colin 😊 too kind.
Incredibly well done. Love learning the history while being amazed at the great lengths taken to live life to its fullest. Outstanding narration. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.
Your videos are absolutely brilliant!! Thank you so much for posting these
You're very welcome!
@@MemorySeekers Greetings from capetown :)
I'm in Fiji and this is such a treat for me.
Thank You ❤
Wonderful tour! I then watched your earlier video of Hever Castle and enjoyed that too. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! Both very different places but full of tudor history!
Thank you for providing us with such an amazing historical background,,,, i love this channel...
Ah thank you so much 😊
The Gardens around the palace are really beautiful. There is a chair in a museum used by the King on which you can sit and take a photograph.
Do you know where the chair is? Was it Henry Viii’s?
I just discovered these guys and I am so impressed with their preparation and research. They are perfectly narrated, as well. Thanks!
Welcome aboard! Thank you for joining us.
Truly amazing tour, thanks for sharing mate, cheers..
Glad you enjoyed it
One of the highlights of my life was my visit to Hampton Court Palace. Thank you for this video, it brings back wonderful memories.
So pleased we stirred the memories 😊
Wow. You're a great tour guide! How informational and professionally done! Kudos and thanks!
Wow! 🌿💙
WOW, this is awsome.
Thankyou :)
We were lucky enough to go there before Covid. I’m happy to see this video with memories of what we saw.
Happy that we brought back the memories of your trip.
I had NO idea there had been so many additions to Hampton Court by different kings. It’s always about Henry’s time there. Thanks! ❤❤❤❤❤❤The Great Vine!
One of the better tours of Hampton Court Palace! I've seen bits and pieces of the palace in other videos, but yours showed more.
Thank you glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for posting, another great video so much history and to think of all the famous people who have walked through the corridors and grounds it’s amazing. 🦘🐨🦘🐨😷👍👍
Indeed a fascinating place to be 😊
Beautiful place
It really is!
Awesome thank you for a great video. It is really informative. You did a fantastic job.
Thank you very much so kind 😊
Very well done video, everything was explained well and all the little details you pointed out were impressive. Hampton Court really is a sight to behold. Very lucky to still have it. So glad William of Orange didn't get the chance to totally change the style of the Palace into the Baroque style. The Tudor aspect is very important
Thank you so much for the lovely comment. Glad you enjoyed our tour. It was great fun to make.
Great tour. Love the Gardens 🌱 🪴 💚
Many thanks Andy.
I really love your videos. You are very talented my friend ! very top quality
Thank you so much 😀
I enjoyed this excursion very much. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hampton Court lends itself to photography in a way I didn't find in other palaces and great houses in the UK because of the light. It has huge windows. Such an amazing place!
Thank you for taking up around - it's well worth the look and I think a very beautiful building besides the reams of history.
Our pleasure 😊
Love the building, gardens & history & will visit one day - Thank you for your balanced video 👍😊
Thank you I so much enjoyed this history video, and to be able to come along with you on this grand tour ! 🙏🇨🇦❤️
So pleased you liked it.
I've been to Hampton Court and this video brought back happy memories - my new favourite channel
Glad we stirred the memories, thanks for watching. 😊
Haya. This was wonderful. Time stands still in many of the things left. I did wonder why all but 1 fountain was removed. The way you describe things makes it as though we are all transported back to those times & you can almost smell the must & the foods cooking ect. . . Thanku so much for sharing. x
Thank you as always!
Excellent commentary. Just enough. Lovely cinematography as well.
Thank you kindly!
Espectacular, me encantó, como siempre. Muchas gracias. Desde Heredia, Costa Rica, Centro América, saludos
Most enjoyable , many thanks.
Very welcome
I was amazed, well done!
Thank you
Great video. Thank you.
You are welcome 😊
Thank you for the wonderful tour. I remember going there when I was young with the School. I found it fascinating!!!
Que hermoso se ve todo eso! Excelente video histórico y turístico!
Really enjoyed it. Thank you for your hard work. 😊🏴
Glad you enjoyed it
