Wolf Hall, the BBC’s acclaimed drama set in the court of Henry VIII, is back on our screens showcasing not only the machinations of Tudor politics but also an array of spectacular period architecture.
The adaptation of The Mirror and the Light, the final book in Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall trilogy, follows the further fortunes of Thomas Cromwell and the palatial power base he built at Austin Friars in the City of London.
Typical Tudor architecture includes steep rooftops, wide fireplaces, arched doorways and gilt detailing. Brickwork is elaborate and elegant; chimneys are particularly large. In Tudor times, exposed timber frames tended to be a feature of modest farmsteads and it wasn't until the 19th century that it became fashionable to reveal the woodwork and beams of grander houses. Nevertheless, it's these 'typically Tudor' properties that make such desirable, characterful family homes today.
