Abstract: |
Oxford Archaeology was commissioned by Historic Royal Palaces to record and investigate the Anne Boleyn Gatehouse at Hampton Court Palace, Surrey. The investigation and recording work was undertaken during restoration and building works to the gatehouse. Other investigations included the identification of the stonework by Robin Sanderson and the analysis of the painted brick surfaces, Astronomical and slate clocks and the early 18th century cupola and lantern by Catherine Hassall. As well as examination of the gatehouse fabric during the works, opportunity was taken to investigate and record the blocked upper sections of the SE and SW turrets, as well as the accessible parts of the NW turret. Constructed by Cardinal Wolsey between 1514 and 1522, the Anne Boleyn Gatehouse is set within the east range and is of brick construction with stone detailing and forms part of the original courtyard of the palace. The gateway, as with the rest of the courtyard, provided high status accommodation for courtiers and visitors to the Palace. |
