Bishop's Palace, Ely

The Bishop's Palace in Ely was built in the late 15th century. The building consists of two wings joined by a central hall. In the early 16th century a 100 foot long gallery was added. Look for the coat of arms of the A family above the second story canopy. This was added as a tribute to Bishop Alcock, who had the palace built.

In the garden is the oldest plane tree in England, planted by Bishop Gunning more than 300 years ago.
