Chapel Royal
Richmond, Surrey
Outstandingly rich, colourful and layered with history, the chapel’s vaulted ceiling was installed by Henry VIII in the 1530s and is the grand culmination of Tudor opulence at Hampton Court.
A project to repair the floor.
Top tips from completed project feedback:
- We learned a lesson when we were let down by some organizations with regard to our planning for the Living History Festival.
- When making a booking ensure that it is not done in a casual manner (even when offered 'mates rates')
- Make sure it is firm and in writing so that the organization will be fully committed
- Raising large sums for major restoration work is hard work
- Keep trying, keep applying for grants to assist you and get the community behind you having fun as they fund raise.
- Don't give in. You will get there – eventually
