Fix this textTTAMPTON Court Palace, one of the
Fix this textlargest and most historic of the
Fix this textRoyal palaces in Britain, stands beside
Fix this textthe Thames on the western outskirts of
Fix this textLondon. One of its most interesting
Fix this textfeatures is the famous astronomical clock
Fix this textwhich has counted the hours for over four
Fix this texthundred years, since it was made for
Fix this textHenry VIII in 1540. It is surmounted by
Fix this texta cupola and a bell which are even older
Fix this textthan the clock itself, for they were removed
Fix this textfrom the original manor building when
Fix this textit was demolished to make way for Car-
Fix this textdinal Wolsey's Palace, later acquired by
Fix this textHenry VIII.
Fix this textThe clock is set in the mellow brick-
Fix this textwork of Anne Boleyn's Gateway, leading
Fix this textto the Clock Court. It was made by the
Fix this textFrench clockmaker, Oursian, to designs
Fix this textprovided by the German astronomer,
Fix this textNicholas Kratzer. It is seven feet in dia-
Fix this textmeter and the dials indicate the hour, the
Fix this textmonth, the day of the month, the number
Fix this textof days since the beginning of the year.
Fix this textIt also shows the phases of the moon ;
Fix this textthe hour at which the moon appears to
Fix this textbe highest in the sky and, hence, the
Fix this texttime of high tide at London Bridge, a
Fix this textmatter of some importance, as the king
Fix this textfrequently journeyed to London by Royal
Fix this textbarge on the Thames.
Fix this textAlthough this clock is interesting for
Fix this textits intricate mechanism, it is particularly
Fix this textremarkable for its historic associations.
Fix this textIt was known to all of Henry’s six wives
Fix this textwho appeared briefly at Hampton Court
Fix this textas queens. A special suite of rooms was
Fix this textbuilt for Anne Boleyn while Henry was
Fix this textstill courting her ; but she had become a
Fix this textqueen and had been beheaded before the
Fix this textrooms were finished. As she passed be-
Fix this textneath the gateway that bears her name
Fix this textshe must have known the fate that
Fix this textawaited her at the Tower of London on
Fix this textMay 19, 1536. Her successor at Hampton
Fix this textCourt was Jane Seymour, who died in
Fix this textgiving birth to the boy who later became
Fix this textEdward VI. Her ghost is said to haunt
Fix this textthe Silver Stick Gallery.
Fix this textQueen Elizabeth I was eating goose on
Fix this textMichaelmas Day, 1588, at the Palace
Fix this textwhen she received the news of the defeat
Fix this textof the Spanish Armada. In 1647 Charles
Fix this textI was imprisoned by Cromwell in the
Fix this textPalace, from which he managed to make
Fix this texta temporary escape.
Fix this textThese are but a few' of the many his-
Fix this texttoric events which took place at Hamp-
Fix this textton Court Palace beneath the clock in
Fix this textAnne Boleyn’s Gateway.
