2 Elizabethan Architecture is more commonly known as renaissance style, which came after the Gothic style that had taken over Europe. The First Renaissance style architecture in England was Hampton Court. Hampton Court was built between 1514 and 1528 by Cardinal Wolsey. The Renaissance style was very symmetrical and plain compared to the Gothic style. The symmetry was showed through architecture and gardens.

3 The most common manor plan was an E shape, with the vertical line of the E being the main hall, and the shorter horizontal end lines the kitchens and living rooms. The shorter central line was the entry porch. Building layouts and exteriors were very symmetrical.

4 On the upper floor of the main hall a new architectural feature made its appearance; the long gallery. Used for entertaining, as a family area, for exercise on dull days, and as a portrait gallery, the long gallery was an almost universal feature of Elizabethan manors. It featured windows on three sides and fireplaces along the fourth, and it usually ran the entire length of the floor.
