HAMPTON COURT COMES TO GREENBANK MILLS & PHILIPS FARM 
March 8, 2008 10:00 AM "The Tudor Kitchens of Hampton Court 
Palace" by Marc Meltonville and Richard Fitch 
The Tudor Kitchens of Hampton Court Palace are popular with 
visitors of all ages, but they're more than a tourist 
attraction. In these reconstructed kitchens, which once 
occupied 50 rooms of the palace, a team of "experimental 
archaeologists", directed by J. Marc Meltonville and 
Richard Fitch, study everyday palace life in Henry VIII's 
time by cooking, eating, and working with implements and 
techniques from the 1500s. They even make their own 
clothes, which they wear both on the job and in their 
living quarters within the palace. 
 
 
Marc and Richard, who have been working in the royal 
kitchens since the early 1990s, will discuss their work at 
Hampton Court and the steps taken to partner with a variety 
of resources including Greenbank Mills & Philips Farm. 
Cost: Members $10 and Non-Members $12
