[edit] Photo Gallery and more

Hi.

I just added the photo gallery section as I had some shots of the palace that I couldn't squeeze in anywhere else. Hope no one minds!

Also, do you know that neither the Government or the Royal Family founds all the work that is done to the palace (upkeep, employment, restoration, etc.) I'll I mostly put this down because I still can't believe it, and am still outraged by it, does any one else think that this fact should go in the article somewhere?

Hi- I believe that since Hampton Court is administered by Historic Royal Palaces, the agency is responsible for funding all upkeep, at least of the public/tourist areas. 38.112.93.62 (talk) 22:42, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Coombe Conduit

There is an English Heritage Property, Coombe Conduit. The English Heritage handbook says "Two Tudor buildings, connected by a tunnel, supplying water to Hampton Court". I am fixing the links on List of English Heritage properties but do not know how to treat this one. Is it valid to add a paragraph on this building to the Hampton Court Article, or should I create its own page? MortimerCat 19:28, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

If there isn't much content it is probably better to add a paragraph rather than create a stub that is unlikely to be expanded. You can point inward links to Coombe Conduit and make that redirect here. That way the door is open to write a full article later with the links already pointing to it.

Better mention it's about 2 miles away, on the other side of the river, and rarely open to visitors Johnbod 20:18, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] It's in Richmond

A quick pointer for anyone who wants to argue that the palace isn't in Richmond on Thames: see the conclusive discussion here. -- Hoary 11:59, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] map

We're starting on a map of Hampton Court and the parks, so if anyone wants to help out, grab a GPS, or see the progress so far. Ojw 23:25, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alledged ghost sighting

I viewed the CCTV footage and to me it looks like a joke or some PR stunt. The camera jumps as if someone was holding it. Does anyone has any new bit of info to share about this sighting?
