The Tudor Gardens

The Tudor Garden, Hamilton, was inspired by the likes of Shakespeare and King Henry VIII.
It reflects the fascination the sixteenth century had with geometric patterns and symbolism with double meanings.
Tudor gardens were typical for having mythical beasts on poles.
The design was inspired by Tudor mathematician Thomas Hill, who wrote books about gardening.
On top of green and white poles stand mythical creatures adorned with the Tudor rose which represents the end of the civil war.
I love this Tudor garden and anything and everything to do with the Tudors.
Nice shot

Made me think of Alice in Wonderland - where's the Queen of Hearts?

@laroque Don't know where the queen of Hearts is, but Alice and the Mad Hatter are at the entrance to the garden
