She is a qualified professional Blue Badge Tourist Guide and has worked at Hampton Court Palace as a member of staff since 2008, she has been interviewed on the BBC and acknowledged by authors, so is ideally placed to impart the secrets of those who have lived, worked and died within the palace walls. Chapel may be closed on Sundays. Entrance fees excluded. Hampton Court Palace is a 'Palace of two halves'; the 16th century Tudor and the 17th century Baroque rebuild by Sir Christopher Wren.
