DescriptionHampton Court Palace Gardens, Statue in East Front Gardens.jpg
English: This statue is at the eastern end of the long path between the palace (seen here in the background) and the canal (behind the photographer).
This area was parkland when Henry VIII was on the throne. It was landscaped under the Stuart monarchs and evolved into the Great Fountain Garden under William III; a 13-fountain parterre, framed by avenues of trees although only one fountain remains today, the East Front Fountain, which is hidden behind the statue. Queen Anne disliked William’s layout and replaced the neat box hedges with clipped yew trees, statues and wide lawns.
