Historic Royal Palaces Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

The Tudor world ushered in an age of wealth, magnificence, challenge and opportunity in the early 16th century. Hampton Court Palace stood at the heart of this period, as the home of Thomas Wolsey, Henry VIII’s chief minister. But the Tudor story extends beyond the palace walls into the wider world, encompassing a time of exploration and exploitation. 

In this episode, Curator Brett Dolman walks us through the oldest rooms at Hampton Court Palace, where a new permanent exhibition reveals the lives of the ordinary men and women who enabled the Tudor court to exist and thrive. Learn more about their everyday contributions to this fascinating period.
