Bishops Waltham Palace

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A moated Bishop's palace built in 1135 for the Bishops of Winchester. The bulk of the surviving structure dates to the 12th and 14th centuries, with a great hall and tower. Medieval guestrooms have been restored, and there is a small museum on site. The Palace was besieged by Parliament in the Civil War and the bishop was forced to escape in a dung cart, dressed as a labourer.
