Hampton Court Archway
Grand stone archway forms the main gateway into Hampton Court Palace. Riders gallop to a halt here and dismount in the mud, horses snorting as the Guard steps forward to question them. Cromwell arrives moments later, his face twisting in fury amid the shouts of rebellion accusations echoing off the structure. The arch frames this chaotic entry, where court security meets urgent northern threats under gray skies.
