Tales from the Palaces

The Royal Palaces are the backdrop to a thousand years of British history and are preserved as unique historical monuments. The conservation of these monuments needs to be balanced with the necessity of a continual flow of curious visitors. Narrated by Robert Lindsay, this DVD features an insight to the activity which goes on at The Banqueting House, Kensington Palace, Kew Palace, The Tower of London and Hampton Court. As well as the extensive work required to maintain these palaces and their artefacts, we get a glimpse of the detective work involved with discovering and presenting long forgotten practices and the intricacies concerned when creating displays detailing real life events.
