Stairs at Hampton Court

Hampton Court was the residence of many famous nobility and royality. It was designed by Sir Christopher Wren (20 October 1632 – 25 February 1723). He was a 17th century English designer, astronomer, geometer, mathematician, physicist and one of the greatest English architects in history. Wren designed 53 London churches, including St Paul's Cathedral, as well as many secular buildings of note. He was a founder of the Royal Society (president 1680–82), and his scientific work was highly regarded by Sir Isaac Newton and Blaise Pascal. This is a photograph of the grounds.
