Hampton Court is often thought of as one of the first examples Renaissance architecture in England. The Gate House is a prime example of Tudor architecture, with its medieval composotion of towers, which were originally much higher. The extensive use of brick is characteristic of important English buildings. Often the red brick is patterned with white stone trim. As is often evident in English Renaisannce buildings, there is an emphasis on the number of floors in the building, clearly delineated by the use of strong, often contrasting, stone courses between floors. ^[1]

The transition from Gothic to a classic Renaissance style was slow in England. Religious art of every kind had declined drastically by 1540, with the dissolution of the monasteries and the break with Rome. John Thynne and Robert Smythson were major builders of the 16th cent. at a time when secular art and architecture began to assume greater importance. Manor houses and palaces were designed for greater comfort than in previous eras and were often arranged according to a symmetrical plan, facing outward toward a splendid garden. Attention was paid to the paneling and stucco adornment of interiors. English builders inconsistently adapted Italian designs, particularly the published works of Sebastiano Serlio. ^[3]
