Medieval Bishop's Palace, Lincoln, Lincolnshire

The Undercroft

 

The Medieval Bishop's Palace in Lincoln was constructed in the late 12th century, it was at the centre of the vast Diocese of Lincoln, which stretched from the Humber to the Thames.

The palace was extended and partially rebuilt over the next few centuries and became one of the most impressive buildings of medieval England, reflecting the power and wealth of Lincoln's bishops.

 

It is situated on a hillside site, just below Lincoln Cathedral, providing extensive views over the city. The palace was damaged during the Civil War and subsequently largely abandoned. The building now sits in a ruinous state and is under the care of English Heritage.
