The Fountain Court was designed by Sir Christopher Wren; he began remodelled the palace in the baroque style for William III and Mary II in 1689. It held private and state apartments for both the King and Queen. Wren’s other works at Hampton Court Palace include the Lower Orangery and the grand colonnade in Clock Court, providing a grand entrance to the King’s Apartments. The architectural historian Sir John Summerson described Fountain Court as ‘Startling, as of simultaneous exposure to a great many eyes with raised eyebrows’.
