LINCOLN MEDIEVAL BISHOP'S PALACE

Standing almost in the shadow of Lincoln cathedral, with sweeping views over the ancient city and the countryside beyond, the medieval bishops’ palace was once among the most important buildings in the country. Begun in the late 12th century it was designed to flaunt the importance and wealth of the all-powerful bishops.

Underground was this large room. Many of the sites have recording you can listen to that tell about the sites. Sister Wilson and Elder Allen are holding the recorder up to their ears.

Records show that in 1329 Bishop Burghesh acquired land alongside the Palace to build a garden. These new gardens as plans for the gardens have been lost. The give a good idea what it might have been like.
