Today, 25th February, is the anniversary of the death in 1723 of Christopher Wren, the architect of St Paul's Cathedral.

Wren's ghost is said to appear in the Old Court House in Hampton Court Palace where he had undertaken major changes for William III. Wren lived at Hampton Court for five years.

Hampton Court is no stranger to ghosts. A gift to Henry VIII, it is known for the ghosts of Henry's wives.

Anne Boleyn appears in a blue dress, the same as the one in a portrait hanging there.

The ghost of Katherine Howard materialises as a figure in white in the gallery where she was frantically trying to reach her husband. Guards caught her hammering and screaming at his door. Henry did not, or chose not, to hear her. Supposedly you may hear the screams of her ghost.

Jane Seymour, who kept her head, died at Hampton Court twelve days after giving birth to Edward, the son Henry longed for. Her ghost appears in her former apartments, a figure dressed in white with a candle in her hand.

I wonder do the ghosts of Henry's wives ever get together to compare - whatever ghosts can.
