The highlight of the remaining Tudor State apartments is undoubtedly the Great Hall.





Next to the Great Hall is the waiting chamber , where people waited for the chance to be able to talk with the King.

One of the famous tales of Hampton Court is of the Haunted Corridor. The Ghost is reputed to be that of Catherine Howard, fifth wife of Henry VIII, who had been tried and found guilty of commiting adultry. As she was taken from the palace she broke free and ran down the corridor trying to reach the King’s appartments to plea for his mercy. Unfortunately, she was caught before she reached him and was taken away and executed.
