The King's Beasts, Chapel Court, Hampton Court Palace

A display of brightly coloured heraldic beasts in Chapel Court. The garden in Chapel Court was created in 2009 to mark the 500th anniversary of King Henry VIII's accession to the throne. It is dominated by eight beasts or heraldic supporters, the designs of which are based on drawings produced in the early 16th century; their bright livery reflects the traditional Tudor heraldic colour schemes
