Wolsey spent the next seven years lavishly (200,000 crowns) building Hampton Court, England's greatest palace. Little of Wolsey's construction work survives today. He is best remembered for his many religious controversies and as head of the English Church during its most turbulent era. Wolsey began building his palace in 1514 at a cost of 10,000 pounds (£750,000). It was not completed until 1530. He used fine materials including French tapestries, Italian paintings, and Flemish carpets. The great hall was 180 feet long and 30 feet wide with an open timber roof that could be raised by means of wooden poles set into the walls. There were three other great halls, one larger than the others. In addition to the main house there were also offices, gardens, orchards, and a moat surrounding the whole complex. Wolsey built two large churches within the palace grounds. One was dedicated to Henry VIII and the other to Catherine of Aragon. Both are still in use today. Near the end of Wolsey's life he ordered the construction of St. Mary's Church, London. This church is now part of Westminster Abbey. Wolsey left Hampton Court when he was deposed from office in 1529.
