In 1514, in the parish of Hampton, Thomas Wolsey Archbishop of York began building a magnificent palace on the bank of the River Thames. Wolsey had water for his new palace running from Coobe Hill in surrey through lead pipes which traveled to Hampton Court. Not much of Wolsey's original building remains due to the rebuilding and remodeling by Henry VIII and later kings. Part of the Great Hall is probably from Wolsey's palace, and the structure of the Base Court looks much like it did in Wolsey's time. The parts of the kitchens from the original building are also very much as they were in Wolsey's first building, but it is now used to cook a lot more pies and meat. The kitchen was 36,000sq foot.

People believe Hampton court place is haunted.
