The clock is 15 feet tall and has three separate copper dials that can tell you the hour, the day of the month, and the position of the Sun relative to the Earth, as well as the phases of the moon, the age of the moon in days, and when the moon crosses the meridian, thus allowing one to predict when the Thames will be at high tide.

    Hampton court Palace!!!!


    1)Hampton Court Palace was built by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey between 1515 and 1530.

    2)Hampton court palace is situiated in Hampton it is in London,England.

    3)The most famous resident that Hampton Court Palace belonged to in the turbulent tudor period was King henry the VIII.

    4)One intresting fact about Hampton court is
    that Hampton Court Palace is one of only two of Henry VIII’s palaces that are intact today. While this fact is up for debate considering the many houses and castles owned or seized by Henry (though he didn’t live in many of the still-existing buildings), there were only two real “palaces” in which he lived. The other still-existing palace is St. James Palace, which is currently the senior palace of the Sovereign. As such, when ambassadors are admitted to the UK, they are admitted “to the Court of St. James”.
