The Great Hall, Hampton Court, England

The Great Hall at Hampton Court is spanned by a large and extravagantly decorated hammer-beam roof and its walls are hung with Henry VIII’s most splendid tapestries.

This huge hall (60 ft high, 108 ft long and 40 ft) was used for banquets, receptions, masques and balls, and other functions. In 2005 Prime Minister Tony Blair chaired a meeting of the Heads of State and Government of the European Union.

The hall has been repaired a number of times, including repairs to the magnificent roof having been damaged by death-watch beetle.

The Brussels tapestries on the side walls of the hall date from the early 16th Century and are of the finest sets of their style and kind in existence.

The Hall's intricately carved minstrel's gallery and screens, stained-glass windows, and magnificent tapestries present a scene of singular richness and beauty.
