It's in Middlesex[edit]

If anybody wants to argue that Hampton Court palace isn't in Middlesex, perhaps they would like to take it up with the editors of the Victoria County History of Middesex, who include Hampton Court Palace in their volume Middlesex II. Zythophile (talk) 12:05, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It was in 1911 when they published. It isn't now. Johnbod (talk) 14:12, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

John Nost[edit]

Surprised no mention here. His article says: "He was prolific and received many commissions, including at Hampton Court Palace, Melbourne Hall, Castle Howard, Buckingham Palace, and Chatsworth. Many of his statues were cast in lead." Martinevans123 (talk) 15:38, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Versailles[edit]

The article states "which was intended to rival the Palace of Versailles". Is there a realiable source for that claim? Clearly, Hampton Court does neither compare in size nor style, so it seems doubtful what the intentions were. ♆ CUSH ♆ 05:01, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Surrey[edit]

Not a single mention of the county where it actually is...

"Hampton Court Palace, Hampton Court Way, Molesey, East Molesey, Surrey, England, UK."

That's the postal address but the border between Richmond and Molesley is the River Thames here. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 09:59, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
