	I love the bell tower. The stripes need to go, though. -----signature----- "While a disappointment overall, the Jerry-George conversation is a repeat of a discussion from the first episode, as if to say, "We've run out of stuff to discuss, so let's call it a day."

	Next: Hampton Court Palace, Tudor Wing Architect: Unknown Completed: 1530 Location: Hampton, Surrey, England Style/Period: Tudor Begun by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey (also at that time Lord Chancellor of England) in 1515. Already a grand country house, Wolsey transformed it into a palace, with a series of Italian Renaissance flourishes. In 1528, however, Wolsey fell from power over Henry's divorce, and Hampton became a royal palace. It was later renovated by Christopher Wren.

	Loved this place, the Choir (I think that's what they call the area with the Knight's seats) is fantastic. Edit: I was talking about St George's Chapel- missed out on Hampton Court when I was in England. -----signature----- Darth Revan Fan Club: Technical Specialist Uncle Eddie was my favourite wrestler Gentle Giant owns my bank account.

	The outside, especially the interior courtyard, with the bleak landscaping and those ugly stairs, is underwhelming. The size seems unnecessary, too.
