Inside Hampton Court Palace

An intimate look behind the scenes at King Henry VIII's beloved royal palace on the Thames, which is now a popular tourist attraction. Cameras follow the palace warders as they reveal unique spaces such as the Great Hall built for Henry VIII, the gardeners as they maintain the 300-year-old historic maze and the spectacular gardens and grounds, and the grooms who look after Hampton Court's own team of rare shire horses.

It is time for the world famous Hampton Court hedge maze to get a trim, carried out by gardener Graham and his team. Plus, chief curator Tracy Borman visits Father Anthony, the chaplain of Hampton Court's Chapel Royal to enquire about a very special prayer book.
