Hampton Court Palace was built and maintained by craftspeople, and this is a practice that endures to this day at the palaces. We follow\\xa0Master Bricklayer\\xa0Emma Simpson into her workshop where she describes the joy of her work and how it connects her to history. We then hear from Assistant Curator\\xa0Alexandra Stevenson as she tells us about her research into\\xa0female craftspeople who had a hand in building the palaces. \\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0

To find out more about the forgotten stories of those who worked at the royal palaces over 300 years ago, a new exhibition is opening at Kensington Palace.\\xa0
